Super Bowl Sunday: 3 Ways to Score a Local Food Touchdown

This year, the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will face off in the Super Bowl on February 13th at 6:30 pm. While some people get excited for the game, the commercials, and the halftime show – we get excited for the snacks.

2) Get Cookin’ for an Extra Point

Don’t drop the ball on recipes like these.

We’re sure your friends and family will be eligible (and willing) receivers!  Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered with recipes so you won’t have to fumble around looking for them.

3) Don’t forget the drinks! 

Whether you are on the field or just an armchair quarterback, it’s important to stay hydrated. Be sure to choose a Michigan beverage to wash down all this great food.
