18 Recipes for the Best Super Bowl Party on the Block
It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I am not a big sports fan. I couldn’t tell a touchdown from a jump shot from a home run. I tried faking it for years because I’m married to the biggest sports fan ever, but recently decided to give up the ghost and let my true non-sports fan flag fly. Luckily that’s not why he loves me, and 15 years in I guess it’s a little too late for him to bolt over a silly game anyway.
But there is one thing I love from the wide world of sports, one event I look forward to every year…
The Super Bowl.
Clearly I don’t look forward to it because of the game. In full disclosure, I rarely even watch it.
And it’s not just because of the overpriced commercials and halftime show, though I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love both. Nope. I love the Super Bowl because of Super Bowl parties. And I love Super Bowl parties because of the food. Because what is this event, really, if not a chance to put out a spread of ridiculously delicious and (mostly) unhealthy party foods? Is it even a Super Bowl party if there is no queso or chili? I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it is.
Super Bowl party food is traditionally fun. It’s traditionally casual and sometimes messy. It’s conversation food. It’s stand-around-the-table-and-talk-while-dipping food. It’s friend food at its finest. And that’s the food I love best.
