Super Bowl Food 2023

[snadamo]

I am 75% certain I am hosting a Super Bowl party. There's like a million ideas going in my head. I figured to start a thread like Andy did last year to put up ideas and questions.

For me, with the arrival of my deep fryer, I think I want to do at least wings, try my hand at some sides, maybe ribs, pulled pork? It's a ways out, but Every time I don't plan things out, it'll be super bowl before I know it. Most likely it's gonna be 20-30 people for me.

Superb Owl Sunday is always fun! Make a vat of that cheese sauce, add some green chiles, maybe jalapenos. Chips 'n pretzels/pretzel bites for dipping.

 

[JIMSMOKES]

New deep fryer. I'd have to try some smokefried wings.

All the above sounds about right!! +1 for the smokefried wings JIMSMOKES mentioned.

 

[snadamo]

Oh wings are happening! I want to figure out some cool sides. Tater skins, poppers etc.

 

[morgan-que]

As stated earlier all the above sounds good. The more you you make the mor options and there are always to go plates left overs and left overs. One suggestion are cubban sandwich fingers.

And I need to figure out playing and serving stuff too. Chafers/chafing dishes etc. never used them..may need to figure that out too.

 

[LYU370]

Get some of the cheap chafing dish holders that use a sterno. I've got some of these and also got some more from Restaurant Depot. Work great, I use the disposable aluminum half pans, always add a second aluminum pan with water underneath so the food doesn't burn.

Last week I texted my guy….

got 2 sacks of crawfish ordered w/ gulf shrimz and gator bites

Should be fun!

Easy and fun to feed a few peps

Keeping everything warm/fresh/edible is what your challenge will be, so I would let that drive the menu. It's great to make a bunch of things for people to taste, but if there are things that you cannot hold at proper temperature, no Bueno.

It's my favorite event of the year. I don't sportsball, at all, not even a little. But, it's the one day where I don't get any grief for how much food I want to take. It's always an absurd amount-given that it's 6-8 adults, and 2 of those are vegans.. I don't have my menu in place yet, but I'm sure it will be enough for 30+ people :grin:

 

[SmokinAussie]

I've done a lot of smofried wings but using an air fryer for the fried part.

Damn good.

Happy to help but can't be there in person sadly.

Adam,
I always served as the food was done. The guests ate all during the party and no one let hungry and I wasn't driven crazy trying to time everything.

I usually make for "finger foods" like smoked Meatballs, smoked Sausage links sliced into bite sized pieces, Pork Shots (big Favorite) . Sometimes I will make Pulled Pork Egg Rolls. Usually I do it the evening before and then do a low temp re-heat in oven, and put in chafing dishes.
Pulled Pork Sliders are always a winner, and a Pulled Pork cheese dip.

Just some ideas for you.

 

[Seefyre]

Easy, have guest brings the sides and you throw down a big pot of your award winning chili and smoke up some pork shoulders to throw in between some good rolls. Done!

 

[NickTheGreat]

In the Midwest, it is a law at any sporting event party you have to have Buffalo Chicken Dip. Basically chicken, franks, ranch and cream cheese. Eat with chips or really any way.


Other that that, I like to theme my foods a little bit. Have Cheese Steaks if Philly is in it, etc.

Thanks!

I was planning on doing that with the Italian and polish sausage I have made earlier this month. Fingers crossed my capicola will be done by then too.

Mrs Snadamo is From Nebraska. Buffalo Chicken Dip is a given...and one of my faves anyway

No one makes ABT's anymore? They are always a hit at my house.

Usually make dove poppers, but I haven't been able to go out in the field last few seasons....Next year I hope!

I have plenty of bacon (10lbs) to smoke tomorrow so ABTs could be in the cards!
