Augie Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Alright, I rarely get to games in person, and it's been many years since I've made an opener. It's a huge celebration after a long offseason and a very special day. I've got my nacho makings, but am trying to come up with the right stuff to round out the menu. The food and drink go hand in hand with the game for me. I think it's nerves... My son just moved to town (and started his first real post-college job last week) and we want to do this right. What do you have in mind? Any favorites or traditions for game day? I've got a few things in mind, but curious what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Buffalo chicken dip- it's great. Don't know exact recipe so you'll need to look it up. You won't need to eat for a few days after it'll fulfill you daily calorie intake for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) not sure if you are in buffalo , but if you are the obvious is pizza, and any will do.. also a wegmans sub cut up works. people in buffalo take for granted what great food there is.. trust me .. living in the philly area, food is very pedestrian.

I'm in Atlanta, and I have yet to find better than just decent pizza here. You're right, Buffalo has great food options! Should have planned ahead to have Bocce's shipped in. There's always next week. Shrimp grilled with Key lime butter over a spicy mango salsa. Oh, I like the way you think! Sounds great and I love my mango salsa.

Bad Things Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Being in a different time-zone, the game is actually on Monday morning for me. Like every year, I took the day off and will begin drinking brewskis as soon as I send the kids off to school. I'll muck around and listen to WGR pre-game show and begin watching the game (on NFL GamePass) at around 11:00. At halftime, my wings should be ready, which I'll consume with some mac salad and Tuatara Pilsener. Let's go Buffalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiostyle Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Wings and nachos. Wasn't planning on having beers, but maybe now I will. I've been on a stout kick of late. I have to get a haircut in the morning, I'll have to grab beer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomper Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Old school. Pizza and wings from Tim and Bonnie's in Springville. Extra sauce, cheese, pep, banana peppers,lightly well done. Wings half hot, half charpit BBQ. Bills on ch4, GB/JAX as the go to game during timeouts, laptop open to fantasy team with another tab open to OAK/NO radio broadcast to listen to my favorite PBP guy, Greg Papa-Raiders. Yes, I'm a geek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Bills' Brew and Ravens' Stew. Love the regional theme! Very catchy, too! Old school.

Yes, I'm a geek. That's a man with a plan! Wish I could get good pizza and wings. Grilling my own has come up as an option. Atlanta is not a great pizza town. Not enough Buffalo ex-pats I guess. We had several in Florida. We do have a good Ted's knock off with great dogs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
