Eats and Beats: Super Bowl creativity

Headed in to this over-indulgent football-food weekend, we passed along the three staples of any Super Bowl spread: salsa, guac, queso. (SeriousEats.com)  But for some serious local flavor we reached out to Brothers BBQ (www.Brothers-BBQ.com).  Their five sauces were distinct, and they each had a pleasant “kick.”  (Even as the Broncos face the Panthers, they’re not shy about serving the Carolina style mustard sauce.)

Their beans were lethally good.  Nick O’Sullivan shared most of the secret ingredients when he visited “First Take with Lando and Chavis.”  The audio is posted below.

But wait, there’s more… something that involves jalapenos and bacon.  Chef Brett Tucker from Relish Catering (www.RelishCateringCo.com) dropped by this morning with his big game creativity in a pan: Bacon-wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos, a dreamy Halibut, Shrimp and Mango Ceviche, and Boneless Buffalo Chicken Sate on skewers.  Their chicken treatment would be a strong argument against wings (but the debate over wings is long and storied).  

Chef Brett’s interview with Rodney Franks and Steve Chavis is below.  Good eating!
