Super Bowl: Recipes and Traditions

Since 1967, the Super Bowl has been the Big Kahuna of all American sports events. The final championship game of the American football season is a time of mega hype, mega commercials and mega eating. Super Bowl Sunday — in late January or early February — has fans all over the country cooking up enormous pots of chili, huge mounds of nachos, boatloads of chicken wings and monster bowls of chips, dips, spreads and salsas.

Beer is by far the favored beverage, but fruity wine coolers and cocktails are popular too.
