OT: Super Bowl : What's on your menu?
I always appreciate hearing what people here are making for the big game. For me it's an opportunity to cook for a small crowd (this year only 7). Our menu includes ancho chile chili, made with a pretty intense ancho chile paste; cornbread; and chicken taquitos with crema. Dessert is still tbd. Does anyone even have room for dessert? So what's on your menu for Sunday?

Homemade chicken (breast) tenders, white castle style homemade sliders, 5 layer taco dip, and some healthier side. Not sure on dessert either lol. Probably a Costco cake, sister in law had a birthday this week so double dipping (well, triple really with V Day).

I have a small slab of spare ribs with my name on it in the fridge. I've a hankering for a bourbon-maple glaze, so I'll try to find a good recipe for one, but might just open a bottle of something and improve it with my cupboard full of herbs and spices. I have a bit of leftover coleslaw, maybe will bake a potato or fix a simple side of cacio e pepe. Keeping it pretty low key this year, just like 'bout every other year. I don't care who wins, and also don't care to overeat either, as I've been slowly gaining weight over the past four months.

Rolling solo this year, so the menu is very basic: pizza at halftime. Probably a burger or two sometime during the afternoon. Labatts to help put any internal fires out.

Brisket.
Game.
Blouses.

Just my wife and kids this year, but that's no reason not to have a fun menu. Hot wings, mini calzones, and a crudite platter with a growler of Porter from our local brewery.
I have no dog in the SB fight this year, but still pretty pumped!
February 10th, 2023 at 10:43 PM ^
Doing some skyline dip and some sriracha wings. I think. Still have time for an audible.

Buffet at the strip club

I've never made a classic Italian meatball, with pork and veal. Going to try that and Marcella Hazan's simplest marinara on a fresh five-grain sub roll with a rocket salad for my wife and I, drink a hard Kombucha spritzer, my new favorite drink when I drink at all. My daughter is away at college, but we're going to watch and message each other. Suddenly this year, she blossomed into a Michigan and football fan, I think as a way for us to connect from afar. We don't always even like football, but it makes it fun.

I don’t understand the weird bread fetish with Italian classics…
February 11th, 2023 at 9:22 AM ^
What's weird about 5-grain whole wheat? It has more flavor than the plain white you're thinking of. And way more character!
February 14th, 2023 at 10:22 AM ^
It's about working people filling up. A meat ball sub is a pretty well established thing, no? Going back at least a half a century. We get that you don't eat bread with pasta. . . don't think you need to be god's gift to food snobbery to have absorbed that one.

Cheese. Meat. Jalapeños. Nachos. Avocado.
Some kind of alcohol.
Wine (Communion)
Go Chiefs!!!
No matter what happens, it will not taste as good as the Sloppy Joes after THE GAME. I'll take that memory to the grave.

How is the answer from anyone in /around Detroit not “coney dogs and buddy’s” ?!
February 11th, 2023 at 10:19 AM ^
Best I can do are, coney dogs earlier in the day with Koegel's Viennas made in Flint on buns from On the Rise Bakery in Detroit.
February 11th, 2023 at 10:46 AM ^
Does Buddy's make a coney pizza?
February 11th, 2023 at 12:47 AM ^
Scrapple and pork roll. I’m real Philly.
February 11th, 2023 at 1:44 AM ^
My dad grew up in Philly, and made sure we were indoctrinated into the cult of Scrapple. Grampy approves of your plan. My wife is disgusted by it, though.
February 11th, 2023 at 1:33 AM ^
Mgoblog pork belly burnt ends. Been making it for a few years now. Amazing.
February 11th, 2023 at 1:39 AM ^
I’m putting two racks of ribs in the sous vide tomorrow and finishing on the grill Sunday. Add oven roasted broccoli and cauliflower with some homemade focaccia and wash it down with Guinness Draft and we’ll be in literal hog heaven.

Out family tradition is that my wife and I and our kids (15 and 11) all stay home to watch the game together. We all come up with foods that we can eat on the couch watching the game. This year:
Homemade pigs in a blanket
Homemade mini beef empenedas
Teriyaki glazed pan fried dumplings
Wings (Buffalo and BBQ)
Homemade chicken tenders
Dessert is fresh baked chocolate chip cookies
We make pretty large quantities of each and all end up eating way too muc, but it’s a pretty awesome tradition!
February 11th, 2023 at 9:29 AM ^
Usually have a large spread of apps, but toning it way down this year. It's just me, the wife, and the kid, after all... And the wife and 11-yo kid hardly eat anything! I'll make some slow-cooker BBQ meatballs and a crab dip. But, since we have some buttermilk to entice one of the dogs to eat better, I'm making some creme fraiche' to add into a havarti, gouda, and parm mac-n-cheese.
Hmmm... None of these things really go together. Might need to go get a small Boston Butt to smoke to help tie it all together.
And this is how I always end up making way more food than we'll eat in a week...
February 11th, 2023 at 7:20 PM ^
I'm impressed you make your own creme fraiche. At the last restaurant I worked at, the chef expected us to make most everything, including creme fraiche.
February 11th, 2023 at 9:34 AM ^
I just now realized it: this board is full of foodies. Myself included.
(Super Bowl tradition thanks to my father-in-law, another foodie -- Velveeta and chili dip.)
February 11th, 2023 at 10:48 AM ^
Classics never die. Velveeta & Rotel FTW.
February 11th, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
3 slabs of baby-backs to go on the Egg tomorrow. Also have some wings to throw on there assuming I can find some room on the grate.
February 11th, 2023 at 11:54 AM ^
Presently in St. John USVI. So, seafood for the win, lots of booze too!
February 11th, 2023 at 12:08 PM ^
Korean wings, Buffalo wings, mini Chimichangas, chocolate mousse, reeces footballs, Mountain Dew and an assortment of chips
