@YoloinOhio .....What an incredible spread!  Are you smoking those burnt ends yourself?

 

I got a brisket in the smoker right now....rubbed down with salt, pepper and garlic powder....going to pull it out after about 6 hours, chop the point into cubes and put some brown sugar in a bowl, along with some homemade KC style sauce....tomato based, a little apple cider vinegar, molasses.....Burnt ends are like candy....if beef was candy.....so freakin good.

 

Will be drinking Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat bear...(a KC staple)  

 

The monday following the SB should be national holiday.

I looked up the Boulevard Beer. Looks like i can get a 6 pack for 14.99 from Whole Foods. Which is better - the quad Bourbon barrel or the tank 7 Farmhouse?

    I’m remodeling my Bathroom myself. 
Today is mudding and taping and sanding drywall all day.

    Usually it’s homemade wings in the turkey fryer. My boy’s last day home from college Christmas break was the Bills Texans game so we did our wings then.

    So, pressed for time , tonight we are having Cevapi with Ajvar on pita bread with fresh Molson beer( which we can’t always get in Clt)

    Cevapi are skinless Croatian sausages and Ajvar is this awesome roasted red pepper relish you serve them with.

Game day decision. A lot of food right now is listed as being questionable. Once I see how the food looks in the pre-game warmup at Wegman’s, I’ll decide who plays in the menu and who sits.

Our contribution to the party we are attending:

KC: Baby back ribs, smoked over cherry, with spice rub and KC style sauce

SF: Clam chowder with sourdough bread and Anchor Steam beer

We have been waiting on a Costco in Buffalo, but no dice yet.  Closest ones are in Rochester and across the border. 

 

...strange.....Rochester & Syracuse but none in Buffalo or Albany..........

[Gugny]

Now I'm leaning toward making a couple pizzas.  Chicken wing dip is all made; jalapeno poppers are all halved and loaded/just need to be breaded and fried.  Those two things being done last night saved me a solid 90 minutes.  I'm "this close," to going to the market to get some dough.

[Sweats]

chili........and chili cheese dogs

chicken wings

ribs

 

Yeah, we don't eat real healthy over here.

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

....have to do some chicken wings....BLUE CHEESE MANDATORY!............then shrimp cocktail, Veal Marsala and grilled broccoli in a garlic butter sauce......party of one (wife died 4 1/2 years ago).......my son and his wife are hosting a party for their friends (the old man wasn't on the guest list-LOL).......my daughter and her boyfriend come back late afternoon from NYC and head to a party with their friends....

Homemade Jalapeno Poppers - https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/20858/best-ever-jalapeno-poppers/ - I've made them before and this recipe is solid.

 

Chicken wing dip - using real chicken breast and not canned.  ALWAYS used canned and went to make some a few months ago and realized I was out of canned chicken.  Threw a couple breasts into the oven and man .... what a significant difference.  Once you go real, you never go back!

 

Chili/Cheese fries. - Gonna use the canned Hormel chili.  It's just perfect for chili cheese fries and will cut down on time.

 

Beef on Weck - Not gonna actually do a roast and slice it.  Just gonna go to the deli and get some of their best roast beef sliced more thickly than I'd get if it were for regular sandwiches.  But the salt and caraway seeds are ready to "roll!"  

 

Pizza - I am going back and forth on this one.  Every year, I miss commercials and parts of the game because I'm busy in the kitchen.  Every year, I say, "I'm ordering pizzas next year."  Every year, I end up making two pizzas and missing commercials and parts of the game.  I think I'll stick to my original thought and just order a pie or two.  But I DO have enough of that pepperoni left to do cup and char ............... hmmm ............

 

Beverages - I'll grab a 12-pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedos and an 18-pack of Labatt Light.  Start with the high octane, then settle down with the Labatt's.  

 

Cheers!!!!!!

Ribs it is.

Perfect! You understand that the Super Bowl is not just a GAME, it’s a DAY. We are invited to a friends about 30 minutes away with no traffic (it has taken as much as 1 hour 45 minutes with Atlanta traffic).  Any way,  when we asked about the time the wife said “well the game starts at 6:30, so come at 6:00”.  We’ve all gone to some trouble as far as food and drink, and I’d like to be able to graze and enjoy for much of Super Bowl Day. Thirty minutes before kickoff barely gives you time to get your food set up and grab a beverage. 

 

If it’s at my house I’d say be there at least by 5:00 if you can, but feel free to come any time after noon or so.  I was wondering if that was just me....

We Bills fans know good food.

I hate people arriving late as I have done a lot of work & like to have things set up & out & can talk & relax.  I told people 5:00, but know some will show up around kickoff.... 

 

Funny too some people want to listen to commentary, which is okay, but not important.  I like the commercials & halftime will be interesting.

Agreed. 4:30 or 5 Is ideal. 
 

guess when the party we are going to tonight starts? 6:15.

Im making pizza subs. What is the best way to make sure the pepperoni curls up? Ive tried googling it, and they seem to just debate what is better on pizza. Can anybody help with this?

If it goes to OT you are screwed! I’m sure the invitation was only for four quarters. “Have to get up early tomorrow so everybody OUT!”

What type of pepperoni do you have. Margherita  pepperoni is great for cupping. Pre sliced pepperoni like Hormel, won’t cup no matter what you do.

Certain pepperonis like Margherita have a casing that will cup when cooked. Look for a stick pepperoni you slice yourself. You want the slices to be about 1/8 inch thick so the slice can cup.  This cupping allows the grease to collect and, if you are like me, you love it when the edges get a little burnt.

there are a few other pepperoni that will cup. One is called Enzo. I am not sure at the grocery store which ones are available. 
 

For cooking just put the pepperoni on last on very top when you bake the sub. They should cup up good. You can do a little pre cook on the sliced pepperoni in a cast iron skillet using olive oil or vegetable oil just to help surface not stick to pep. Then out pep on the sub. Only thing I don’t like about that approach is you lose some of the grease that natural come out the pep and soaks into the sub.

I have a sports bar right across the street from me, they're having KC BBQ chicken, pulled pork topped tater tots, Buffalo chicken dip, dogs, sliders and sides, seeing how I took tomorrow off, I'll be there gorging with a pitcher of draft beer with friends.

Its a wegmans brand, its not presliced. So i should have some room to work with. Im going to do some trial and error, with precooking, worried about it taking too long and burning the sub.

It's a completely different taste than a homemade chili (mine, anyway).  But it's got its place and it does taste very good, in my opinion.  Perfect for chili cheese fries.  Hormel's is good.  It's just meat and beans; nothing fancy.  Campbell's makes a hearty chili which is also very good.

 

Think of it like a cheap frozen pizza.  Not as good as your favorite pizza joint, but in some scenarios, it hits the spot and is perfect.

 

 

After being gone from home for 4 months...I got myself hooked on Mary's kitchen corned beef hash with fried eggs...only on weekends..very high in fat..but it tastes so good.enjoy the game Gug..I have little interest since I don't like either team.

That sounds fun (and easy). I wish I had tomorrow off! 

[Capco]

How long before the game would you order some pizza and wings if you wanted it by the end of the first quarter?

 

The idea is to potentially avoid the mad rush right before the game at the cost of missing some of it.  The caveat is that I live 1min away from the pizza place so I won't miss that much play time.  

[Mark92]

Guacamole, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Taco Egg Rolls and meatball subs....... Beer.  ?
