Superbowl: The Edible Experience Boston Edition

The Superbowl is a televised event wherein friends and family gather, beer in hand, surrounded by a lot of snacks and tasty foods, periodically cheering and groaning. Essentially, its like Oktoberfest minus the parade (we always had a parade in Kitchener- Waterloo) and with a bunch of men parading around a field in jerseys amd tights instead of Lederhosen.

I have nothing against the sport, spare me the cheerleaders (can we not modernize what it is to be cheerleader?), and concussions are definitely an issue worth resolving. I am sorry that the Patriots aren’t playing and their losd was so freaking close! When it comes down to it, I’m just in it for the beer, food, and excuse for a party.

Lucky for us Bostonians, we don’t even have to prepare our own feasts. Some of my favourite restaurants have half-time show worthy menus and all you have to do is reserve, pay and pick up.

Formaggio Kitchen

Superbowl Special! Formaggio Kitchen Sidewalk BBQ annual tradition continues! Every year, the saturday before Superbowl Sunday, Formaggio Cambridge rolls out their gigantic kettle grill and cooks BBQ favorites.
