OT: Super Bowl : What's on your menu?

I make chicken parm sliders and a shandy punch usually. Real easy and folks love them. Get one of those 48 pack hawaiian rolls and good lemonade. 

Big tray of nachos, maybe a beer. The wife is out of town, kid will be in bed, I will also be in bed by halftime 

Coincidentally scheduled a trip to Cancun a while ago (as a Lions fan we don't really block out SB) so whatever the resort is serving and I hope they have the game on! When I'm stateside my wife makes a pretty good crockpot buffalo chicken dip and little au jus sliders. Assuming I don't just spring for a middle eastern tray first.

oof double post.

Kinda want to cook, but still working off a hand surgery and the weather has been pure suck for firing the smoker. Pretty sure my wood is wet too. 

If I was cooking, I’d probably get a belly of bacon uncut and make bacon burnt ends out of it. Meat Church has a smoked jalapeño bacon dip recipe I make quite a bit too.

OOH- I have corned beef in the freezer, I should make pastrami; guess we’re having reubens…

We’ve got about 40 people coming over and have asked everyone to bring something to share (not deserts).   We’re providing:

Liquor (literally everything)

Keg beer (two different IPAs)

Wine

4 Quarts of beef lo mein 

4 Quarts of pork fried rice

40 egg rolls

1/2 sheet pepperoni sheet pizza

1/2 jalapeño & onion sheet pizza

1 full double cheese sheet pizza

Chips, nuts, crackers

Candy bars, cheesecake & assorted cookies

Party starts at 4:30, should be a blast.

A group of 8 of us rented a bay at X Golf. Catered buffet from Pit Stop BBQ in Grand Rapids and 5 hours of golfing while the game is one.

Beer

Wow.  Some of you really get into it!  It’s  usually one of the few times a year I get to have just my wife and 3 boys altogether with no other distractions.  We hang out with friends almost too much so I 100% enjoy this.  We have a homemade pizza bar and then I cook them on the Kamado Joe (with a pizza stone).  Some turn out great and some turn out like ass but that’s all part of the fun.  So that with a crockpot dip of some sort and other snacks that we let each of the kids pick. 
All that said, we are visiting my brother in law in Denver (1st time visiting Den) this weekend while the kids are with my parents.  It will be fun but I will certainly miss our SB shenanigans.  
 

i don't know that we've ever made it to dinner on super bowl sunday.  dear wife and daughters cook up all sorts of heavy hors d' oeuvres and so we are all too full.  

getting the menu at chef wendyk5's place would be special.  

Putting together some Philly Cheesesteaks and some KC BBQ.  Somehow will find room for desert.

Going to the game so.....stadium food?

Went to the stadium for the Michigan bowl game and tried flamin hot cheeto pretzel....would not recommend. 

we’re going to throw some chicken thighs and mac-n-cheese on the smoker (gravity 980) and polish them with homemade bbq sauce! pigs in a blanket for the kids. can’t wait

I'll bring the following to the Super Bowl party I'm attending:

- brie & raspberry pastries

- Zingerman's brownies

- a bottle of wine

Haven’t made wings in a while, so probably go this route.  Super easy method without a fryer.  Two bags of Meijer frozen wings on a really large cookie sheet at 440 for 40 minutes, drain some of the excess “water”, flip over and bake for another 30 - 40 minutes while checking the color/crispness along the way.  Shake in a container with whatever buffalo sauce ya got and good to go.  

Wife works. I'm watching 3 kids(1 is 3 y old), 2 puppies(3 months old). I'll look at my phone once a quarter, cooking something easy.

Meatballs, old family recipe queso dip, veggie tray and sandwiches 

10lbs of wings. Maybe some other fried goodies. It’s just wife and 2 teen daughters so if we go crazy it just gets wasted. 

Sounds great Wendy!  
Smoking a Chimayo Chile rubbed pork shoulder for the main course.  Still trying to figure out the rest.

A few years ago I started planning my menu around the teams.  So this year I’m doing sourdough soft pretzels and Philly cheesesteaks for the Eagles and KC style smoked spare ribs for the chiefs.
 

Haven’t quite decided on the sauce for the ribs. I’m usually a dry rub only guy but feel like I need to sauce for KC style. Might make my own or doctor up a store bought sauce. 
 

TBD on beer choices. Probably will deviate from the Philly/KC choices and just pick a local NY beer like a Captain Lawrence Kolsch but will be a last min decision 

Edit: should add that we used to go to a big party but once Covid started we did it at home and kind of liked not going anywhere so sticking with it. So as much as I want to cook more than the above (and my wife burns toast so it’s all me), it’s already a ton of food for two adults and two kids.

I make beer cheese dip every year, and this year we’ll probably do a hot dog / brat / Italian sausage bar. I’ll cook everything up and my wife will make up the condiments/fixins, and everyone can just go to town from there. May have a beer, two tops, and then I’m capping it from there. 

Not sure I’ll even stay up for the whole game. We just had our second child four weeks ago and we’ve been turning in by 8:30 every night. Can’t imagine I’ll be lasting much longer than that. 

Cheesesteak or BBQ?
