Kansa City Vs. Philadelphia! Time For A Tasty Super Bowl Matchup!
To some it’s a football game, for me it’s a super food mashup!
Congratulations to the Chiefs and the Eagles for making it to Super Bowl 2023 – showing themselves to be the two best teams left standing – what a matchup!
As usual, the big game means big big meals like this!
This Stadium Is A Foodie’s Touchdown!
Yes, this “burger stadium” is just what I plan to make for this year’s big game – and since both teams come from great food cities, I will also make these two dishes as well – here is the food matchup between Kansas City and Philadelphia!
The Taste Of Philadelphia Vs. The Taste Of Kansas City!
I love that both cities have delicious food – so let’s take the food field!
Philadelphia will offer this “Super Sandwich” for the Eagles:
Behold The Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich!
Well, this is a “Super Bowl worthy” sandwich for sure! Philadelphia is known as the home of the “cheesesteak” and they are VERY particular about it!
I found this description for the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich on a website:
“According to Philadelphians, you simply cannot make an authentic Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwich without an authentic Philadelphia roll. The rolls must be long and thin, not fluffy or soft, but also not too hard. They also say that if you are more than one hour from South Philly, you cannot make an authentic sandwich. With cheese, it is a cheese steak or “cheesesteak.” Cheeze Whiz is the topping of choice for serious steak connoisseurs.”
You can also grill onion and bell peppers as well – and while I won’t be close enough to Philly to use the right bread, I can make sure that Cheez Whiz is part of my Super Sunday!
I ordered an iconic Cheesesteak from GoldBelly and found it delicious – and was able to make it at home!
This one was built on a round roll – from Donkey’s Place!
See the recipe and more here:
As for Kansas City, it’s all about the “Q”:
Here’s what I found online about this iconic smoked delight:
“Kansas City’s barbecue craze can be traced back to Henry Perry, who in the early 1920s started barbecuing in an outdoor pit adjacent to his streetcar barn, serving slabs of food wrapped in newspaper. Perry’s ‘cue became so popular that fans began imitating his technique and style to create their own unique recipes.”
Smoked briskets, sausages and all the side dishes take time, but which one of these cities’ has the food you crave e for the game?
I say it’s a win either way!
As for Super Bowl Sunday, I love how many people take on these unique food stadiums:
I love the food stadiums online!
As Led Zeppelin once sang about the Super Bowl: the teams might change but:
“the snacks remain the same…”
Now THIS is a Super Bowl stadium I would buy a ticket for! Yes, when the world’s biggest sporting event is on TV, you have no option but to do your part to live up to the hype – and that means only one thing!
THE SUPER BOWL OF SNACKS!
I plan to make a LOT of fun Super Bowl food once again this year – it’s an American tradition that goes back to the beginning of football, right?
More Meat And Cheese, Please!
If you want to wow your Super Bowl party guests, why not offer up your own food stadium, with all the meat and cheese you can handle!
What better way to celebrate the Super Bowl than to tease you with pictures of amazing food stadiums to help us swallow the following Super Bowl Food stats! First, look at this snack stadium:
And of course, you can never go wrong when you unveil a snack stadium that looks like this – all of these great pics raise a question: how much food IS eaten on Super Sunday?
HERE ARE THE STATISTICS ON SUPER BOWL SNACK FOOD!
The Super Bowl is ranked as the number two food consumption event of the year, second only to Thanksgiving! (Source: American Institute of Food Distribution)
Get Ready To Consume 1,200 Calories!
Yes, thanks to Holytaco.com for the terrific Twinkie stadium, which should remind us all that the average number of calories consumed during the Super Bowl is 1,200! It’s the second largest day for U.S. food consumption, behind only Thanksgiving!
71.4 million pounds!
Yes, that’s the estimated total pounds of Hass avocados that will be consumed for the game this year, according to the Hass Avocado Board. That’s enough to cover the Super Bowl Stadium end zone to end zone in more than 27.5 feet of avocados – that’s a lot of guac!
I love the way the guacamole looks like the playing field here!
90 Millions Pounds Of Wings, Please!
Hope you have enough ranch dressing and paper towels to handle this one:
1.25 Billion Wings!
Yep, that’s the number of Chicken Wings that football fans are expected to eat on Super Bowl Sunday, according to the U.S. National Chicken Council, and why would they lie to us?
Don’t Forget The Chips!
Ys, potato chips are an American tradition, and we make sure to stuff our gullets during the game!
An astounding 14,500 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn are eaten on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Calorie Control Council says we’ll eat:
— 11.2 million pounds of potato chips.
— 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips.
— 4.3 million pounds of pretzels.
— 3.8 million pounds of popcorn.
— 2.5 million pounds of nuts during their Super Bowl parties.
One last statistic to share and it involves THIS:
hamburgers and hotdogs cooking on flaming grill shot with selective focus
Cheer On #32!
Yes, we all support #32: that’s the percentage of U.S. grill owners who will be firing up on Game Day!
According to Weber, the Super Bowl ranks as one of the top 10 most popular holidays to grill. And when you do grill, turn it into something amazing like this!
Yes, nothing better on Super Bowl Sunday than a grill full of burgers and sliders, including my favorite: A burger topped with Provolone, french fries, thick bacon and tartar sauce!
You can click here for some of my favorite slider recipes:
Of course, none of this food can go down without a little help!
Is There A Beverage?
Well, what do YOU think?
During the Super Bowl, there will be 325 MILLION GALLONS of beer consumed. That is A LOT of beer…you might need a bit of help carrying it to your table…
Serving Up A Bacon Mug!
And when in doubt, just pour yourself a frosty brew in this mug and have a nice snack at the same time!

i have boycotted the NFL ever since they started allowing disrespect toward the national anthem about 6-7 years ago and plan on never returning. I hope their ratings continue on the decline right up until their day of bankruptcy.

Great food here! The 2 Philly cheesesteak rivals are Pat’s and Geno’s. Both are good, glad one was highlighted here. Who makes that stadium food? Wow! Sign me up for the bacon mug!

I found these pics online and they are truly impressive1. I ordered Pat’s from Goldbelly once as well and they arrive perfect! I’m not a big BBQ fan as it’s a bit one note for me – don’t be mad anyone!

I always look forward to the culinary excesses you show us on Superbowl day. I would much sooner eat the food than watch the sport though. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
