Super Bowl Menu


The Gnat

Recommended Posts

What are people planning for the Super Bowl?

In MN it's supposed to be in the 30's, so I'm hoping to bust out the smoker/grill. I'm thinking I'm going to smoke some cream cheese blocks, I put some rub, pickled jalapeno, and maybe some onion in with it and just smoke it. Really good to just snack on, and use crackers or chips in it.

I also saw a recipe I wanted to try of brats, split open, stuff in pimento cheese, jalapeno, and then wrap it in bacon and smoke. And I probably need something a bit healthier too, but both of those are high on my list of food to do.

Usually just chili for me.  Unless there's people coming over or something.

But I make chili paste with mulato and chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, then fry some chorizo, and cook red onion, poblanos, jalapenos, and garlic in the oil until they're starting to brown, then add tomatoes and black beans, with lots of cumin and black pepper, and let it simmer for however long I can.  Then I add a can of shoepeg corn, salt to taste, lime juice, and paprika, then let it finish for 15-30 minutes.  I usually put out cornbread or tortilla chips, cheese, greek yogurt (lactose intolerant sour cream substitute), cilantro, and avocado.

Planning to get some chicken wings.  Bake 'em and douse them in buffalo sauce.  Using the weird baking powder trick, and Frank's wing sauce 'cause it's easy and pretty perfect.

 

Still thinking about options to accompany them though.  Currently leaning toward some sort of cheese toast type option.  Might just be nachos w/cheese.  Open to evaluating other ideas though...

Oh man...not only beans, but corn in the chili?  Gonna make some folks real angry probably.

A YouTuber chef made the most accessibly easy chicken wings ever (everything he made was very baseline college kid kinda stuff I could make without even having a recipe lol) that I might try out. I have always had anxiety with cooking chicken right though.

I cook something fairly similar to this when I make a version of chili. I like to add enchilada sauce to mine if that's something that might tickle your fancy.

Going out with some buddies, gonna watch at a restaurant/pub a friend owns. They have some next-level bacon jam sliders and red curry fries; It’s either that or some crawfish made Vietnamese style with corn and potatoes…

I’ll probably have a few beers too.

My kids don't really have interest in watching football, but they love SB Sunday because I make a couple pounds of BBQ chicken wings, homemade spicy chicken wings and (their favorite) pizza rolls. It's one of the only days of the year that I wipe vegetables from existence in their diet and let them free roam.

To be fair, beer is always secondary to single malt - I’ll probably have a few of those before I dip into the beer menu.

I won't dispute the superiority of a nice single malt over beer.  But the Superb Owl weekend just feels like it should be a Beer event.  With A Few of them consumed.  In the same way that Thanksgiving need a Turkey, Easter needs a Ham...Superbowl needs a beers.
