What is a Super Bowl party without good food? It’s time to get your menu ready for the big day.
Here are 10 different Philadelphia and Kansas City themed dishes to add to your menu.
Famous Kansas City foods
For those who have been to Kansas City, you know that they love their barbecue.
Here are some well-known Kansas City dishes to consider for your Super Bowl party.
Barbecue ribs
Get your hands dirty with some delicious barbecue ribs.
In Kansas City, ribs are usually smoked and smothered in barbecue sauce, according to Food Network. But if you don’t have a smoker, have no fear, RecipeTin Eats has a ribs recipe for the oven instead.
Barbecue hot wings
Wings are always the perfect addition to your game day food table, and barbecue hot wings will really get Chiefs fans excited.
Wings are often smoked, but Pure Wow offers an oven-baked hot wings recipe.
Burnt ends
Burnt ends are a “Kansas City rite of passage,” according to Food Network.
This barbecue dish consists of the fattier pieces of brisket that take longer to cook. Be warned: you’ll need to start cooking these the day before the game, according to the recipe from Dinner at the Zoo.
Cheese curds
Fried cheese curds are a great finger food for a Super Bowl party. They are nice and crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside and “completely addictive,” according to Food Network. But if you’re lactose intolerant you might want to keep your distance.
Life’s Ambrosia can take you through how to make your own cheese curds in just under 30 minutes.
Cinnamon rolls
According to Food Network, cinnamon rolls in Kansas are usually paired with chili. The combination emerged about 30 years ago when schools were given a large amount of beans. They ended up making chili with them and in order to get the kids to eat it they would pair it with a cinnamon roll.
But instead of making big cinnamon rolls, try 5 Boys Baker’s copycat recipe for Stroud’s Cinnamon Rolls — a Kansas City favorite.
Famous Philadelphia foods
Food is a serious matter in Philadelphia, according to Visit Philadelphia, and the Super Bowl deserves serious food.
Here are some Philly-style foods to add to your menu.
Philly Cheesesteaks
The Philly Cheesesteak is the ultimate staple food of Philadelphia.
Invented in 1930 by Pat Olivieri, the cheesesteak is made with a roll that’s crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The roll is filled with thinly sliced beef and topped with either provolone cheese, American cheese or Cheez Whiz, per Visit Philadelphia.
To make this the staple of your Super Bowl party, try the All Recipes baked Philly Cheesesteak sliders.
Hoagies
The Philly sub is a long, fresh roll stuffed full of meat, cheese, veggies and a spread. The hoagie is a simple and easy dish that can be made in a variety of ways for everyone to enjoy.
