Your Complete Super Bowl Guide
Football party food and drinks
What to Eat
Hosting friends and family for the big game calls for a variety of food on the buffet table. Try one of our recipes for provolone beef pizza, turkey meatballs with pineapple sauce, homemade blue cheese dip, south-western pulled beef sandwiches, game day nachos or pulled beef quesadillas and tacos.
To upgrade your Super Bowl fare, try red wine braised short ribs and smashed potatoes.
What to Drink
When it comes to beer and sports, you don’t have to go out of your way to find weird or rare beers that no one has heard of, or worse yet, no one likes. If you’ve got a random assortment of people coming over, pick your brews like you pick wine for a wedding — tasty, easy and reasonably priced. Here are some standbys for crowd-pleasing, light and affordable beers for the big game. Also, check out these top 10 bottles for football Sunday.
In terms of wine and Super Bowl foods, keep this rule in mind: fat with acidity, salt with sugar. For more advice on pairing the two, check out this article.
Where to Go
Say goodbye to rough-and-tumble sports bars. Some much more refined players have arrived on the scene, just in time for the Super Bowl. See our selections for the most sportsman-liked hangouts here.
