Super Bowl Blowout Party

MENU: Super Bowl Blowout Party

Even if Cleveland chef Michael Symon’s home team rarely makes it to the play-offs, his annual Super Bowl party is always the place to be, thanks to his delicious spicy buffalo wings, bacon-spiked chili and sweet corn bread.

Pairing: Great Lakes Brewing Company Dortmunder Gold Lager

Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings
These crispy chicken wings get their heat from Sriracha, the Thai hot sauce that chef Michael Symon says is his favorite in the world.

Lump Crab Salsa
Most crab dips are full of mayonnaise, but Michael Symon’s lighter version is more like a salsa since it’s prepared without mayo and laced with flecks of shallot, cilantro, jalapeño and red bell pepper.

Pork Cheek and Black-Eyed Pea Chili
For his luscious chili, use incredibly flavorful and succulent pork cheeks—an unusual cut worth seeking out. If pork cheeks aren’t available, pork shoulder (cut into 2-inch pieces) can be substituted.

Toasted Cornmeal Corn Bread
Toasting the cornmeal first gives the corn bread a heartier flavor.

Arugula Salad with Olives, Feta and Dill
To jazz up arugula salad and give it a slightly Greek twist, toss it with chopped fresh dill, briny Greek feta cheese and kalamata olives.

Guinness Ice Cream with Chocolate-Covered Pretzels
The ice cream has a strong, malty Guinness flavor that goes supremely well with the salty, milk chocolate-covered pretzels. If you don’t want to make the chocolate-covered pretzels, they’re easy enough to buy.

Mojito Jell-O Shots with White Rum and Fresh Mint
Stir unflavored gelatin into the mint-and-lime-spiced rum drink to mold a fun and sophisticated version of the lowbrow shot.
