Thought For Food

AlwaysPartying: Superbowl Edition

The spread.

Throwing a Superbowl party is something that must be done in style. Always Hungry style. The goal is to put together such an epic combination of food that your friends at the game wish they had stayed home. Normally this takes great meditation and planning, but if you stick with us, we will put it together for you. Follow these instructions and we guarantee that you will have the best Superbowl spread that any of your guests have ever seen.

Here is the move:

  • New York’s best Buffalo Wings from Cercle Rouge
  • Sloppy Joe Sandwiches from the Town Hall Deli
  • A Bo Ssäm to-go from Momofuku Ssäm Bar
  • And cook a Bacon Explosion just to ice the cake, and give the apartment that signature smell.

 

Cercle Wings from Cercle Rouge.

Wings At this point you should know that the ones at Cercle Rouge are by far the best in New York and maybe the world. Call the restaurant to arrange ahead of time. Order 50 or more and they will probably even deliver them. Even at the high price tag of $2/Wing, they are worth every penny.

 

Bo Ssäm from Momofuku Ssäm Bar.

Bo Ssam Whole, slow-roasted pork shoulder, smoked chicken wings, red onion cole slaw, Yukon gold potato salad, baked adzuki beans with bacon, and one dozen compost cookies from Momofuku Ssäm Bar. Despite early reports, Ssäm Bar management told us you can still order your Superbowl Bo Ssäm (serves 8-10 people, $325) until 6pm, today. Place an order by email (), include your name, phone number and pick-up time, then go get it on Sunday.

 

Sloppy Joe from Town Hall Deli.

Sloppy Joes The sandwiches from Town Hall Deli are the finest deli sandwiches in existence. Take my word for it, they are worth the drive out to South Orange, NJ. Call ahead and order platters. Make sure to get the turkey and ham combo, and the turkey and roast beef combo. Due to their genius layering system, they keep very well so if you go on Saturday and keep them in the fridge they will be fine.

 

Bacon Explosion.

The Bacon Explosion A great throwback to last year’s blogosphere classic. Make it yourself. Here is the recipe.

Happy Superbowl. Go Saints!
