The Super Bowl is one of the greatest American food days of the year. Die-hards, fair weather fans, and those who are just there for the grub are all tuning in for this annual national pastime to eat, drink, and watch football.
Nachos, wings, dips, and sliders are Game Day classics, but this year we are focusing on dishes that represent the food cultures of the city-based teams that are facing off — the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. To get in the spirit, we’ve collected some recipes to make rooting for these teams a deliciously festive competition. Football is one thing, but which team comes from the best food city? Let’s dig in.
