Super Bowl Food

The Super Bowl has become an American tradition.  I can actually remember watching the very first Super Bowl.  I'll let you do the math.  When it first started, I don't recall the Super Bowl being a huge party or food day, but that is certainly what it has become.  Apparently, it rivals Thanksgiving on a day for nonstop cooking and eating.  Here are two fun cookbooks for football fare, although the football cookbook has much  more gourmet-type recipes than the Game Day book.  The football book has recipes from chefs of the cities where the team is located.  Who would have guessed you could find Herb-Crusted Mahi-Mahi with Crab and Mushrooms and Lobster Butter Sauce, or Beef Carpaccio Rolls with Apple Syrup, in a football cookbook?   The Game Day cookbook sounds more like what people like to cook and eat during the game like, Kickin' Southwestern Dip, Quarterback Queso Dip, Linebacker Quesadillas, All-Star Potato Salad, Gridiron Burgers, Halftime Chili, or Give Me a T-E-A-M  Bars.  Whichever way you decide to go on the food, have fun and enjoy the game.  Except the Bears should be playing...  Oh, well.
