My names Zach and I'm taking you to flavor town, USA with an expert guide to setting the perfect table for Super Bowl Sunday. These are the top 10 dishes on game day.
10. Cheese and Crackers
Cheese and crackers rightfully don't deserve much clout but they are the essential light foreplay that is needed for every Super Bowl feast. Perfect for getting through the monotony of pre-game talk while the main dishes are still getting ready.
9. Wings
We're topping out the Scoville scale with this hot take. Wings are almost synonymous with football, however they are not the ideal food for game day at your house. If you are hosting a Super Bowl party you need to have quick remote access at all times whether its a volume issue or some fat lard sat on the remote and changed the channel -bottom line- you can't be caught saucy-fingered in crucial moments and if you're a clean freak like me you can't trust a bunch of guests to not wipe they're sauce-laden hands everywhere.
8. Subs
Subs are perfect because they provide something for everyone. A platter of 6 inchers goes a long way and can easily feed a crowd with diverse tastes. You can also smash a hoagie in one hand and fist a beer in the other...what more could you want?
7. Pigs in a Blanket
Weenies for the win! Doughy, savory, cute name and delicious. Don't ask me how to make them though.
6. Veggie Platter
Balderdash! Veggie Platter!? Who let the vegan hippie make this list?
I know a 6 spot seems generous for veggies but they are a needed pallet cleanser that doesn't get enough recognition. You need something light and fresh in between the gallons of cheese you pour down your gullet. They're like the special teams unit of the table, not sexy but necessary. Veggies also usually last the whole game (because America is fat) so if you need something to munch on out of nervousness at the end of the game, they'll be there for you.
5. Chips and Guac
Guac ain't extra here. I'll take any chip and dip combo here as a matter of fact. However, creamy fresh guac on a salted corn chip reigns supreme and its easy to make (or buy you lazy bastard).
4. Nachos
Cheese-loaded goodness. The only flaw is that there usually isn't enough. Get in quick before the other vultures start picking at them when they hit the table.
3. Sliders
What's better than a cheeseburger? A cheeseburger that you can eat 6 times and not got judged.
2. Tater Skins
Cheese. Check. Bacon. Check. Sour cream. Check. All that and a crispy tater makes a killer combo. Potato skins are an over-looked dish but they offer a diverse range of flavor and you can get fancy dressing them up. With all of these exciting layers they're the philly special of Super Bowl foods
