Super Bowl 50 has a nice ring to it! So do the stats — the fun food facts that is — which predict another year of record food consumption when it comes to celebrating on the day of the Big Game. Last year’s numbers (1.23 billion chicken wings and 14 million hamburgers) are sure to keep up Super Bowl Sunday’s ranking as the second biggest American feast day of the year after Thanksgiving.
It’s great to be
an American — even if you only watch the game for the commercials! Most of us watch the game at home with family
and friends with an average of 17 in attendance. A mere 3% choose to share the night at a
local bar — which explains the staggering sales of some 50 million cases on game
day alone. (24 beers in a case
multiplied by 50 million? I don’t think I could even compute that figure.)
If this year’s party is on your home turf,
approach the quasi-holiday the same way you do any food-focused gathering. Give yourself the home field advantage with premium
tools to insure a constant flow of easily prepared crowd-pleasing foods to
serve a crowd!
For many households, this is the one time of the year where men take the lead in the planning. To be sure and he’ll look like the man in charge, the KAF Home Utility Half Apron suits him up in classic chef-style — a perfect complement to his team jersey.
