Super Bowl 50: What’s Going On and Where To Chow Down!

The USA’s biggest and baddest sporting event is back this month…

Hey mamas, are you ready for some football? American football that is! Noted as one of the biggest and greatest sporting events in the United States, the Super Bowl will celebrate the big 5-0 this year and the National Football League is sure to pull out all the stops to make this year’s game spectacular! This year, the Denver Broncos go head to head with the Carolina Panthers at the Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco to see who will take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Even if the game itself is not your cup of tea, all the delicious food is reason enough to celebrate! Super Bowl Sunday is a day to indulge in those foods you would typically shy away from such as cheesy nachos, spicy chicken wings and heaps of pizza. Remember, mamas, calories don’t count during the Super Bowl so why not take the family out this weekend to celebrate this beloved American tradition?

Where to Eat and Drink

 

The Diner
Did someone say chicken wings? The Diner in Central whips up delectable chipotle chicken wings along with other Super Bowl favourites like crispy onion rings, beef and pork sliders, and mac ‘n’ cheese.

The Diner, G/F, 4-8 Arbuthnot Road, Central, Hong Kong, 2562 3181, www.thediner.com.hk

Sunday’s Grocery
Subs (sandwiches) are a Super Bowl staple and a clear favourite at any Super Bowl party. Sunday’s Grocery has some not so traditional subs, but they’re definitely scrumptious… we recommend the chicken schnitzel. You won’t be disappointed!

Linguini Fini
Another family-friendly place in Soho is Linguini Fini, and chef Vinny is going all out! Chow down on their buffet spread, including sausage and peppers, LF wings, New York-style cheese and pepperoni pizza, mini meatballs and more. There’s beer, mimosas, and bloody mary’s as well, all for $298!

Lily & Bloom
Feast on an array of breakfast favourites at Lily & Bloom’s Endless Breakfast Buffet the morning of the Super Bowl. Think applewood smoked bacon and breakfast sausage patties, creamy scrambled eggs with cheese and chives or go the whole hog with kickin’ buffalo wings, and BBQ ribs. Yum!

So, mamas, break out the face paint and football jerseys and get ready for a great game! Super Bowl 50 will be airing live in Hong Kong on Monday, 8 February at 7am which means you will have to get the kiddos up nice and early! Which team are you rooting for?!
