Superbowl 55 Spread

The celebration is scaled way down this year - partly because of COVID-19 but mostly because two of my brothers moved away. Still doing a lot of food, but not as much and not so focused on snacky stuff. 

This year's Superbowl features the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. I picked a couple of things that are relatable to each city, but I'm not being super accurate. In the case of KC, I literally could not find a brisket from which to make burnt ends, so I took two swings at an alternative. First, I bought some pork "burnt ends". I've had them before, and they are good, but yeah. Second, I found a recipe for "Poor Man's Burnt Ends" that uses a chuck roast. 

For TB, they lay claim to the Cuban sandwich, but whatever it is they are calling that is something else because it includes mayo and salami. Mine will not. I'm also doing fish tacos and grouper sandwich sliders. 

The spread: 

Kansas City: 
"Poor Man's Burnt Ends" - recipe




















Tampa Bay: 
Fish tacos - some grilled (baked actually), some fried, with my own crema from this recipe

Cuban sandwiches - recipe; I made my own mojo pork using this recipe
















Neutral:

Bacon mac & cheese - no recipe, just plain macaroni, Ragu double cheddar cheese sauce, about a cup of sharp cheddar, and a package of precooked applewood smoked bacon. 




















Dips: 
Amy's Cilantro Cream Dip (aka "green s**t") - recipe




















Queso - c'mon. Velveeta, hamburger, salsa.
