Super Bowl food power rankings: Game-winning party dishes and ultimate fails
February 04, 2016 (17:45) [ Indexed from Sportal.com.au ]
The Super Bowl is the biggest event in American sports. Since the beginning of time, people have convened in groups to sit in front of a television and watch a football game being played by two teams they (more than likely) don't root for. But as the years went by, Super Bowl Sunday became less about the actual game and more about the advertisements, halftime show, and most important, the food. MORE: Athletes in Super Bowl commercials| Unforgettable halftime shows RECIPE: Be the MVP of your party with beer-braised short rib sliders You have our picks for the game, but if you need a hand in the party planning, we've got you covered. Eat up. Dips/Spreads 15. Chowder: Way too regional and difficult to use as a dip or spread. Good, but not THAT good. 14. Chicken Salad: I'm a big chicken salad fan, but it doesn't really have a place at a Super Bowl party. Sure, I'll take a spoonful, but I've got bigger and better things on the horizon. 13. Seven-Layer Dip: Everyone you know has a "special" seven-layer dip recipe, and guess what? It's not good. At all.Seven-layer dip is basically a poor attempt at nachos except with un-melted cheese and ENTIRELY TOO MUCH SOUR CREAM. Also: Name something else you really love that comes "Seven-in-one"? There isn't.Do yourself a favor and never eat seven-layer dip again. It's crap. You can thank me later. 12. French Onion Dip: It's the only food item I've ever seen my dad make, so that has to count for something, right? French onion dip is good, I guess. It's flavor is somewhat overpowering and you can only eat so much, but at least it's not seven-layer dip. 11. Queso: Hear me out. This isn't a knock against queso " or cheese dip, for you uncultured folk. Queso is great, the type of great that will make you run your fingers around the sides of a barren container hoping to get the last droppings of cheesy goodness. The problem with queso at a Super Bowl party is that it's overwhelmingly basic. There are so many more unique dishes to try, ones that people probably spent some time preparing. You can get queso in a jarfrom your local convenience storeany day of the week. Branch out a bit. 10. Crab Dip: You wont find crab dip at every Super Bowl party, but at least it is unique, which cannot be said about seven-layer dip, which " asI just established "is basically cat litter.Crab dip is good. I have no problem with crab dip as long as it doesn't stink up the joint. 9. Pasta Salad: A vastly underrated item that will make you feel like you are being healthy. Pasta salad comes in many varieties, all of which are good. Well, except the ones loaded which olives. That type of pasta salad is awful. The bottom line is this: You treat pasta salad like it's different. Like it doesn't belong. Get over yourself. 8. Veggie Tray: THE VEGGIE TRAY OVER SEVEN-LAYER DIP? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? No, I am not kidding you. The veggie tray is legit. Steamed cauliflower tastes like glue. But raw cauliflower soaked in ranch or blue cheese dressing? L-E-G-I-T. So much of a Super Bowl meal is meats and spreads, so why not have some veggies? Dude, edamame is what's up. 7. Buffalo Dip: Like seven-layer dip, buffalo dip is vastly overrated. The buffalo flavor has been forceddown our throats for eons. Remember when chiptole spices tore onto the scene?Remember when people began sacrificing their firstborns for srirache? Buffalo is the OG in overexposed flavors. On top of being a do-nothing flavor, you need a lot of extras to make a buffalo dip really stand out. If your buffalo dip is nothing more than cream cheese, ranchdressing and hot sauce, don't even bother making it. Buffalo dip brings nothing to the table. You like it because you've had it forever. I've been going to the dentist forever and I don't exactly like it. Ask yourself this: What do you like about buffalo dip? I just did the same and the answer was very simple: NOTHING. 6. Guacamole: Seriously, who doesn't love guacamole? Here's a pro tip: It is in your best interest to befriend someone who makes a killer guacamole. Store-bought guacamole is OK, but homemade guacamole "with the right amount of lime juice and onion "will steal the show. I remember the first time I had truly sensational guacamole. Iwas at a barbecue and basically hung out in the kitchen by myself and ate almost two pints of guacamole while everyone played beer pong on the deck. The rest of the party was not happy. I did not care. But back to the crux of the entry:The avocado has become overexposed thanks to its status as a superfood, but not withstanding, guacamole is always great if you can find a someone with a killer recipe, as I did. It paid off BIG TIME. 5. Hummus: Hummus has gained a poor reputation thanks to millennial overexposure and it'sa damn shame because as simple as it is, hummus is really good.I've been eating hummus since I was a toddler and it's always been spectacular. Hummus is dynamic in the sense that you can pair it with a variety of things: carrots, cucumbers, celery, pita bread, wasa bread, crackers. Trust me:You don't need anall-weather beanie and a pair of wide-brimmed glasses to enjoy hummus. 4. Deviled Eggs:You don't agree with me here. Too bad.The deviled egg is the single-most under appreciated party side on the planet. Oh, what's that? You don't like the deviled egg? Why is that? Have you ever tried a deviled egg? Listen. I used to hate deviled eggs, too. But then I actually tried one. It is impossible to eat a deviled egg and not fall madly in love with it. You don't like the deviled egg because you've never tried it. Tryit. Love it. It will change your life. It changed mine. 3. Potato Salad: My ideal "Last Supper" includes a trough of my mom's homemade potato salad. Mayonnaise is " after all " the spread of the Gods. Everyone's potato salad is different, but it is always great. I don't think I've ever had "bad" potato salad. Sure, it may be kinda time consuming to make, but it's well worth the investment. Believe in potato salad. You will be rewarded handsomely. 2. Spinach Dip: Spinach is divisive. Some people say it tastes like socks. Others swear by it. The easiest way to find common ground is to load it up with mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream and cheese. Hell, add those four ingredients to a batch of boll weevil dung and it instantly becomes one of the best dishes on the table. What I'm trying to say is this: You don't have to like spinach to love spinach dip. And spinach dip is great. 1. Chili: No Super Bowl party is complete without chili. Chili is typically best enjoyed in a parking lot during the winter. But in actuality, chili is good everywhere:On a folding chair in the Lambeau Field parking lot, at the kitchen table, in your buddy's recliner. But chili's brilliance is that no two chilis are the same yet virtually all chilis are excellent. You can use ground chuck or sausage; onions or celery, kidney beans or pinto beans. It can be runny or compact. Chili is different. Chili is the best. Main Dishes/Meats/Fried Foods 15. Crab Cakes:Crab cakes are delicious. You don't even have to be a fan of seafood to enjoy crab cakes. But crab cakes are a regional food. On top of that, making crab cakes from scratch is not only expensive but time-consuming. Plus, you never want to be the person to bring crab cakes. Your friends will judge the hell out of you. 14. Potato Skins:Potato skins are great, but they typically fall flat when made in large quantities. The best potato skins are single-use " the leftovers following a nice baked potato. When someone attempts to make a batch of potato skins, the end result is a burnt, dry flap of leather with no real value. All the bacon bits, sour cream and cheese can't make up for the fact that you are essentially eating a leather boot tongue. 13. Chicken Tenders:A great ballpark food. A good cafeteria food. Just not a great party food. It's a great sports food, it just doesn't translate to a good party food. Honey mustard isn't in everyone's refrigerators and whoever makes the tenders often overcooks them. Leave chicken tenders at the ballpark. 12. Party Sub:Party subs are great in theory, yetmediocre in actuality. No one in the history of creation has ever finished an entire party sub. The bread gets mealy, the meats get lukewarm, and the entire thingjust endsup being not very appetizing. 11.Jalapeno Poppers: Really good if you are willing to give it a chance, but unless your significant other obsessively watches the Food Network, you are better off ordering these at a restaurant. 10. Sausage:Sausage suffers the same fate as chicken tenders: much better at a game or in a parking lot than at a kitchen table. That being said, if someone has gone through the trouble of slicing the meat into nice, diagonal slivers "accompanied by a spicy mustard " sausage becomes a solidappetizer before you dig into the heavy stuff. 9. Pigs in a Blanket:I'm a fan of anything that can be eaten in one bite and in large quantities. But the key here is the breading. A soft-yet-flaky, buttery-but-not-overpowering breading can change the entire game. You don't go to a Super Bowl party expecting to crush a batch of pigsinablanket. But it often happens, and it is always enjoyable. 8. Fried Cheese:Whether a cheese curd, mozzarella stick or fried provolone, you simply cannot go wrong with a variation of fried cheese " ever. Cheese is impeccable by itself. But fried? It's not terribly commonplace atSuper Bowl parties "despite being rather easy to make " which is a damn shame. 7. Meatballs:Meatballs are great. They are easy to make, can be prepared in a variety of fashions and are easy to eat. Meatballs area great dish because no one ever is really excited to dig in to the meatballs, like say, pizza or wings. You always have plenty to eat and it's always surprisingly good. Do yourself a favor and load up on meatballs " Swedish, Greek, Italian, it doesn't matter. You will enjoy it. 6. Buffalo Wings: I know what you're thinking. But guess what? You're wrong. Wings are the most overrated finger foods on the planet. There is absolutely zeropayoff with wings. You get sauce everywhere. You put in all that work for what? One mouthful of chicken? You end up with a plate full of owl pellets and mangled napkins practically steeped in sauce.Wings are never worth the hassle. Are they OK when you can get them for 25 cents a piece at the bar? Sure. But what wouldn't you eat for 25 cents a piece at a bar? Quit wasting your time with wings. I know you're upset. I don't care. You need to hear this:WINGS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK THEY ARE. 5. Sliders:It's too cold to fire up the grill on Super Bowl Sunday, so instead of cooking burgers, utilize its smaller yet more dynamic sibling: the slider. You can get fancy with sliders if you please or you can leave them be. Regardless, they are good. 4. Ribs: I present to you, the more efficientanddelicious alternative to wings: ribs. Sweet, delicious ribs. As I've already established, too much sauce is never a good thing. But pork is always better than chicken. On top of that, you only deal with one, large rectangular bone as opposed to two skinny, oddly-shaped ones. The surface area of a rib is vastly superior to that of a wing, and as I just established, pork > chicken. Do yourself a favor and follow these two easy steps. 1) Throw away buffalo wings. 2) Buy lots of ribs. 3. Nachos: If made properly, nachos are untouchable.. The key here is the even distribution of cheese and toppings. Far too often people don't spend enough time on the construction. It's all about even cheese distribution.But here's the great thing about nachos: Even if it is constructed like a McDonald's McFlurry, (You know what I'm talking about) it's still nachos.And nachos are the best. Forever and always. 2. Fried Chicken: Fried chicken gets the nod over nachos because it's easier to handle and easier to consume in a party atmosphere. Also: Fried chicken is delicious. Sure, you have to spend some time picking at the bones and craning your neck to get the proper bite, but unlike wings, fired chicken is " well " fried. Fried food > un-fried food. Fried chicken is synonymous with sports-watching. If it's not a big part of you Super Bowl party, you aren't a real sports fan. 1. Pizza: This isn't even a contest. Pizza is the best super bowl party food. In fact, pizza may be the best food, period. I'll be frank, I'm a nacho guy, but pizza is just so dang versatile. It's mess-free, easy to make or order and can be enjoyed by meat-eaters, vegetarians and even pescaterians. Pizza has no peer. It is the alpha and omega. More...
