Superbowl/Puppy Bowl Food - KC and SF Foods?

[wawa]

This was going to be way more fun when I briefly thought we could do Baltimore vs. Philly food.  (roast pork and broccoli rabe sliders and crab balls!  weee!) But we're a house united in our End of Season Choke.

So.  Anybody making anything fun to watch the Puppy Bowl?  

KC - 
Leaning burnt ends.
What else?  

I'm not doing cinnamon rolls and chili.  

SF - 
Sourdough bread?
burritos are not really a shared snack food.
something seafoody?

[glw]

We're doing KC BBQ (again, sigh), sushi, sourdough w/some kind of dip, and Rice-a-Roni lol.

[wawa]

glw, I was contemplating turning rice-a-roni into lowbrow arancini to make it more snacky.

Cinnamon rolls and chili is the food of the gods, you heathen.

It's delicious! I grew up eating it, and it was a regular school lunch staple.

So...how does it work?  do you actually eat them together?  Are you dipping your cinnamon rolls in the chili like naan bread in your chicken tikka or are they just served at the same time and don't touch?   Also what style of chili? is it more texas (mostly meat) or the essentially bean stew they do most other place?

I'm not usually fussy about foods mixing, but I can't make that much sugar make sense in my head with chili.  But I love cinnamon rolls. and I love chili. I could be convinced.

I dip it in the chili (meat and beans type chili but any would probably work). It's not complicated.

I’m so tired of Kansas City beers. They are…not good. And SF isn’t better 😭

[sonrisa]

For the ‘9ers: Wine. Good cheese (cow girl creamery, point Reyes blue, etc) sourdough bread, rustic bakery crackers, dungeoness crab, oysters, ciopinno, Humphrey slocombe ice cream, tcho chocolate, it’s its ice cream, green goddess salad dressing/ veggie dip, some pot from NorCal, dim sum, Irish coffee, crab Louie, modern fortune cookies, farm-to-table, Takara sake is out of Berkeley.


I had fantastic bbq in Kansas City but there is no way I’m eating cinnamon roll chili when almost anything out of the Bay Area is going to taste better than that.

esqueeze me? Are you blaspheming Boulevard Beer? 

[pugz]

Other than BBQ I feel like KC doesn't have signature dishes. We have such a huge variety of cuisines here and I have never been to one restaurant in KC that serves chili and cinnamon rolls. Have found that in smaller Kansas towns though.

You have one brewery. I’ve had Boulevard beer 4 times in the last 5 years. It’s fine, not great, and I’d like something else

If you can find any Free State Brewery, KC Bier, or on the Blvd front DH loves Tank 47.

Food- topsys popcorn is local and ships.

I’ve seen Free State a couple of places. Maybe I’ll give that one a shot. (I’m sure KC beer is fine. I’m just mad the Eagles bombed the end of their season so badly)

At first this makes me go hmmm, but I do love a good sweet & savory combo so I bet I would dig this. Cinnamon rolls are just a step up from sweet cornbread sooooo…

[ellipses84]

For SF I like the idea of a meat, cheese and Ghirardelli chocolate charcuterie board with sourdough and focaccia bread and wine. They sell packs of the individually wrapped chocolate squares lots of places, like Target. You could do chowder on the side if you feel like you need more (clam or a vegetarian style chowder).

I think you could do a mission style burrito bar, just get large tortillas. That doesn’t keep as well if it’s going sit out, unless you have a way to keep things hot / cold.

Another option is Dim Sum, pork buns, dumplings, etc. but I’d probably order takeout for that.

I’d never heard of the KC cinnamon roll thing.

[Pibs]

I just found out that the Chiefs have an app with a cookbook that has recipes from players and their families. I'm a Niners Light fan (Iowa State Cyclone trauma for life!), but also grew up in the Midwest so I'm cool with the Chiefs winning. There's a green turkey chili recipe from Patrick Mahomes' chef that looks yummy so that's going on the menu. There's also a cinnamon roll recipe, but I'm not sure I'd have those with anything other than standard red meat and tomato chili. It just wouldn't be right. 😅

I've decided I want to make cheese slippers.
If anyone has thoughts/tips/recipes lay em on me.

Lots of smaller ones that don't distribute out of the area.

oooh. Have lived in KC for 17 years and still haven't had one. You have to be up super early and stand in line on a Saturday which is not my thing.

It may be too late, but I ordered this bbq sampler from rally house last week and will do pulled chicken and pork.  Burnt ends are too much work for lazy me.  But since we all prefer a different bbq place this will make everyone happy.  I'll pick up some Boulevard Wheat - that's about all we can get out here.  No San Fran foods in our Chiefs house

H is making...
- pork belly
- short ribs
- chicken wings

I am making
- Stroud's cinnamon rolls (KC recipe)
- toasted sour dough and bruschetta
- chips and mexican street corn dip 

[sonrisa]

FYI - Costco has burnt ends in their refrigerated prepared food section right now (near the Aidels sausages etc) ours also has boudin bread, but I’m guessing that’s regional.

This is actually our plan.  We have stuff going on all day saturday into sunday AM so H can't run the smoker. So we're going to see what BBQ options our costco has on hand. They always have *something* and it wont' be as good as he could make, but approx 324235346456 times easier and more time effective.  Fingers crossed we also have the burnt ends.

I've never tried this but I make a chili recipe that calls for cinnamon so I can see it.

Also, I'm assuming the cinnamon rolls are not frosted?

What??? Unfrosted cinnamon rolls??? Those exist?! I grew up in the midwest eating chili and cinnamon rolls and they were always frosted.

I'm from the Midwest too but northern midwest and chili and cinnamon rolls is not a thing here. NGL what I think sounds bad about this combo is the frosting, not the cinnamon roll. So I kind of assumed it would be unfrosted because frosting and chili sounds extremely unappetizing.

[Scout'sHonor]

Chili and cinnamon rolls 4eva! But I takes bites of each, not together.

We’re just doing various apps again. Pretzel dogs, pizza empanadas, egg rolls, and jalapeño poppers.
