Super Bowl Chatter (1 Viewer)

For those hosting or bringing dishes to Super Bowl parties, what is your solid go-to?

We host and in addition to me making Buffalo wings (fry them myself) and a bunch of other unhealthy snacks (chips, dips, pizza bites, fried mozzarella, etc.) I also try to serve food based on the teams in the game. Last year was crab rolls and cheese-steak sliders. 

Need to shake it up, and while I may default back to crab rolls, have no idea what food LA is really known for. Tacos? French Dip sliders (believe that was invented there)? Bacon-wrapped hot dogs (had a good one last time I was there). 

Looking for the tried-and-true food crowd pleasers from your parties -- and any tested recipes you had.

Los Angeles is a very diverse food city.  Mexican is a solid option with carne asada probably being the most popular meat for burritos (probably tacos too but I think there are better options.  I could also recommend some famous local institutions that serve different types of food if you want to go that route.

Can't go wrong with tacos but oddly enough LA is also famous for the French Dip.

Chicken and Waffles?

Ham and Cheese sliders baked in a dish with those King Hawaiian sweet rolls crushed it last year.

 
Saints fans have to be sick.  Can't blame you for skipping this one.  I'm tired of the Pats and am skipping as well.  
I know I'm probably in the minority here, but as someone who is not a Pats fan at all, I actually enjoy watching Tom Brady.  Mainly because I feel like I'm getting to witness true greatness.  The same way I loved watching Gretzky.  

I can't imagine my grandkids one day asking, "So you got to watch the greatest quarterback of all time play!"  And my answer being, "Well, I could have.  But I chose not to because he was just too good and won all of the time.  Talk about boring."

 
The Original Philippe. :homer:
There's another place a few miles away that claims they invented it.  I'm surprised there's never more chatter (or is it chitter?) about it.  I forget the name of the place and too lazy to Googlez.

But mmmm, Phillipe's.  I'm bummed I'm not up in LA more.  Used to stop there all the time.

Cole's

I'm a Philippe's guy myself but Cole's is great too.

Agreed.  Can't see how anyone would boycott this game, even with the BS call in the Saints game.  The Super Bowl is an event regardless of who's playing... and honestly... how they got there.  Hoping to go to a party with a lot of food, squares game, and hoping the game is good.  Can't see how it wouldn't be.  And I will miss football dearly for the next 6 months.

 
Oki Dog

I have never seen this anywhere but Los Angeles. It is pure awesome and perfect football food.

The original Oki Dog is a hot dog covered with chili and pastrami all wrapped burrito style in a flour tortilla.

6 months?  The AAF starts on February 9th.

If only those Saints fans skipping this one had had another chance to see him play.  It's a shame, really.

My bad.  I'm not talking about Saints fans.  I totally get that.  I was just referring to people in general.

Sure, I’ll enjoy watching Brady...on his back with dirty ol’ Suh giving him a double titty twister until he cries.

I'm not necessarily boycotting the game; I'm not interested. I spent this past Sunday afternoon watching Doctor Who on Twitch.

If it's on, it'll be background noise while I'm doing something else.

 
I thought that said "chowder" and this thread was going to be about the Patriots' version of the Super Bowl Shuffle called the Super Bowl Chowder.  I was way too excited when I clicked this link :(

 
So if he just missed the playoffs every year you would be disappointed. 
Absolutely.  Tom Brady losing Super Bowls is a thing of beauty.  With a loss next weekend he would tie Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton for the all time record for Super Bowls losses.  Nothing will not deny Tom Brady another chance at immortality.

Just bring some boxes of these.

I consider myself a junk food maven -- not a true aesthete or connoisseur, mind you, but I've been around the block with calorie-infused pastries and olestra-coated salty snacks -- and I've literally never seen this product from my little gal pal Debbie before.

They look horrifically delicious.

throwback to HS for me. i ate a package of these every day for like three years.

just like every other delicious treat from childhood, these have been cheapened. they're dry and overly sugary now. shame.

So all the dozens of games I have seen Brady play don't count?   All the previous SBs don't count for some reason?   I already don't remember all the SBs Brady has played let alone all the playoff games.  I don't see how one game matters at this point. 

And yes, another Pats SB is boring to me.

:yes:

 
When have we ever seen all four teams left standing where two plays changed everything for all four teams?

Should have been Saints vs Chiefs.

An off sides and a non pass inteference call changed everything.

As far as munchies go,  as long as there are plenty of them, all that matters.

Interesting fact: The referees sent two teams to the Super Bowl.
Sorry in advance for picking on you. How many NFL games did you watch this season? How much (like, a percentage estimate) of the last two NFL games did you watch unfold live?

This. :lol:  

“I know it’s arguably the best party day of the year, with 98% of America throwing down with awesome food, gambling, and enjoying the last football game of the year...... buuuuuut Tom Brady is a doo doo head. I’m staying home alone and watching Oprah” 

Or maybe they’re not invited to any awesome Super Bowl parties and the Tom Brady obsession is an excuse? :unsure:
