What to cook for the Super Bowl?

[JoeSousa]

When it comes to the Super Bowl I generally like to cook foods based on the teams that are playing. I was kind of rooting for the Packers and Titans yesterday so I could have fried cheese curds, brats, and Nashville Hot Chicken. But alas, we got KC and San Francisco. I have a couple lists with ideas for all 32 teams just so I am ready.

For the Chiefs would you go with KC style ribs or burnt ends? The correct answer of course is both but if you had to go with one what would you pick?

And for the Niners other than sourdough or maybe some Ghiradelli chocolate I can't really think of an iconic San Francisco food. Mission style burritos would be a thought but that isn't really good Super Bowl party/snacking type food.

What's on your Super Bowl menu?

[dahcopilot]

a full packer, as they won't be playing!

[HouseHomey]

Wow. That was good.

[Rfhd69]

Haaaaaaaa!

[johnmcq4]

Wow

[smokin fool]

Everything....and lots of it.
Burnt endz for KC
All I can think for SF is Rice a Roni, that SF treat....or wine....

[Steve B]

😂😂😂

[mrteddyprincess]

If you can find a quality tri tip, that seems to be a very California thing. Done right it sure does make tasty slices for your guests. I like tri tip on sweet rolls with a creamy horseradish sauce.

[JoeSousa]

Tri Tip is a great thought. Might need to take a trip to Costco and pick some up.

[HawkerXP]

Or like they do at Monterey, roasted garlic, smeared on sourdough.
How many people will help decide wibs or burnt ends.

[CaptainMike]

Perhaps a nice cioppino on a grill or smoker for the Ess Eff theme. San Francisco is the origin.

[painter]

+1 on the cioppino. It's a semi-regular at my place.

[Troutman]

I was thinking smokey cioppino myself, beat me to it !!

[treesmacker]

These folks also recommend Cioppino...

"San Francisco’s iconic seafood stew, cioppino, has no original baseline recipe. Instead, the hallmark of cioppino is how flexible it is for your tastes and preferences. Whether you make yours with butter, leeks, scollops, celery, and/or sage, or make it thick or thin, cioppino shines with fresh seafood and will warm up any game day at Levi’s Stadium."

[texastweeter]

Sauced pork ribs, and tritip tacos.

[Steve B]

Don’t matter who’s in the big game.
WINGS.....
Now for KC well with a KC style bbq sauce.
For SF ??? Still thinking
Maybe an avocado mango thing 🤷🏼‍♂️

[HouseHomey]

So stereotypical Steven. Don’t be a hater. Hater.

[ribeyeguy]

For San Francisco I'd have to say wieners. I've heard that they're pretty popular there.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Mostly in the Castro District.

[HouseHomey]

Dang

[ILikePigButts]

Or any food you might make while camping...

[mountainsmoker]

For SF cioppino, you can cook the sea food on the grill to add some smoke, Sour dough, garlic bread. Dungeness crabs on the grill. Tri-tip.

For KC. Ribs, burnt ends, several barbeque sauces.

[Sweaty Paul]

Could hybridize the KC plan and do pork belly burnt ends. SF could do some grilled oysters.

[ComfortablyNumb]

For SF you could add Boudin and Columbus to the menu. Get the CC package or just the rounds and put dip in it.

What seems a lifetime ago Mrs. CN and I would take the Harley to the City and get the soup bowls.

[Beefchop]

I saw "Boudin" and thought, what?!? Different kind of boudin that we're used to here in south Louisiana.

[Troutman]

Boudin? The Saints didn't make it to the SB

[ComfortablyNumb]

Troutman Y'all ain't from San Francisco, are ya Tex? ;-)

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

San Fran has brought so many crazy foods to popularity.

However, I would suggest sticking with the chocolate and making a chocolate and chili sauce for one set of ribs, then serve them side by side with the traditional KC sauced ones.

The other probably more expensive option would be to make KC style chili and serve it in sourdough bowls

[ColonialDawg]

KC - definitely ribs and burnt ends (use a chuck roast to save some money)
San Fran - what about fish tacos with a chipotle cream sauce, pickled red onions, and shredded Napa cabbage?

[HouseHomey]

Frisco seems to be the sticking point.

1. How about taking the Ciopinno (not really a super bowl foo) and make it a game food by making it a paella(s$

make some rice a roni and place in small disposable tins and then smoke some seafood and place in the tins for individual eats. Or make one big one like Steve B does. You can get 4 oz foil tins and hold warm on the cooker or finish on the cooker so the rices gets some liquor from the seafood.

Just a thought.

2. roll some mission style burritos but smaller. (Adjust the insides for the cook and cut.) then grill the burrito on a cast iron or grill grate on the cooker. Slice for pinwheel style food.

TIP: I use this vac seal method for my pulled pork flautas.

Roll the burrito (smaller than mission) with warm tortilla and place in vac seal bag and seal. Then refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. When you unseal the burrito will have molded real tight and kinda "dough-y" place seam side down on grill pan flat surface. On the flip seal with toothpick or small skewer so the tortilla don’t open. About 6 picks for 12” tortilla. Once browned and crispy finish heating on grill until insides are hot. Slice pinwheel or larger cuts.


3. individual Smoked Crab Louie salads.

4. Cheeses, fruits, baguettes, Dungeness Crab dip and Rosè

5) Fish tacos

6. Smoked Avo salsa/guacamole with fresh Corn tortilla chips

7. Chocolate covered strawberry

8. Smoked Meatball with marinara. Serve on Gilroy garlic sourdough

9. Chipotle Ranch sliders with bacon and blue

10. Grilled Cabernet marinated (and glazed with a reduction) flanken short ribs. Some garlic and chives won’t hurt

Just some thoughts.

Edit: fzxdoc You have to place them in the vac bag from vertically where the ends are top n bottom. I get 4 per bag of regular size tortilla. For larger 10” get 2 per bag and 1 per bag of the giant tortilla.
Depends on the size of the bag I guess.

[Richard Chrz]

This all sounds great. I think I may pour Cabernet and slice rare tri tip into small pieces with a gorgonzola board sauce on top of small pieces of sourdough and call it Meat Sushi. How more Californian can you get then that.

[treesmacker]

Rice A Roni paella - clever!

[HouseHomey]

Meat sushi. Love it!
