Touchdown Treats: Planning Your Football Party Catering
Whether you're a die-hard fan or just in it for the commercials, the Super Bowl is the perfect excuse to gather friends and family for a fun-filled party. But let's be honest: no party is complete without incredible food.
Fortunately, football catering takes the pressure off. Here's everything you need to know to score big with your football party catering.
Kickoff Your Super Bowl Catering Menu
The first step to a winning Super Bowl party? A well-thought-out, balanced menu. Here are some menu planning considerations to help nail your game plan:
Consider Your Guests' Dietary Needs
Dietary preferences shouldn't sideline anyone at your party, so consider the people on your guest list. Send out a quick poll or ask your guests about their favorite game-day dishes and dietary requirements. Burritos and tacos are versatile catering options that can accommodate almost any dietary restriction, from health-focused to vegetarian.
Balance the Menu
A winning Super Bowl menu doesn't happen by accident, so ensure you have a fully balanced menu by offering a mix of proteins, carbs, and veggies. You also want dishes that are hearty enough to sustain your guests through four quarters but easy enough to eat while juggling a drink and cheering for their team.
Estimate Portions
Nobody wants to run out of queso in the second quarter. A good rule of thumb is to plan for 1.5 servings per person. For example, if tacos are on the menu, provide enough shells, protein, and toppings for each guest to enjoy about two to three tacos.
Keep the Food Hot, Hot, Hot!
Warming trays or insulated carriers are great for keeping food hot throughout the game, so plan to have these on your buffet-style table for game day.
Menu Ideas That Score
While tacos and burritos from Burrachos steal the show, mix it up with additional snacks for a spread that's as exciting as the game:
● Finger Foods: Bite-sized crowd-pleasers like mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, and pizza rolls are easy to grab and eat without missing a play.
● Sides: Seven-layer dips, black bean salads, and coleslaw are must-have party food sides for game-day vibes.
● Main Dishes: Sliders, grilled sausages, or buffalo wings can take your buffet table to the next level.
● Vegetarian Options: Stuffed peppers, roasted veggie platters, or caprese skewers can ensure all your guests feel fully involved in the game-day spread.
● Desserts: Sweeten the deal by adding desserts like brownies, cookies, and churros, or go big with football-shaped treats.
● Beverages: Pair your menu with drinks—sodas and beer for simplicity or themed cocktails for a festive twist.
Decorating for the Win
Transform your home into the ultimate game-day destination with themed decorations. Use a color palette of green, brown, and white or your team's colors. Add banners, balloons, streamers, and small touches like mini footballs and referee whistles. Football-shaped plates and napkins tie the look together.
Highlight your game-day catering spread with themed labels for dishes, such as "Green Zone Guac" or "Touchdown Salsa." These little touches elevate your party and show your guests you've gone the extra yard.
Add Extra Fun to the Big Game
While the game itself is the main attraction, a little extra entertainment can keep energy high during halftime or downtime. Set up a football toss game in the yard, a photo booth decked out in team colors, a Super Bowl trivia challenge to test game knowledge, or a friendly betting pool with fun prizes, such as Burrachos gift cards. For the kiddos, consider football-themed coloring sheets or a small craft table.
Stress-Free Cleanup
Post-game clean-up doesn't have to feel like a penalty. Here's how to make it easy:
● Use disposable or compostable plates, cups, and utensils for quick cleanup.
● Clearly label trash and recycling bins to make sorting simple for guests.
● Catch messes ahead of time by placing mats and serving trays on tablecloths to catch spills.
● Ask a few friends to stick around for a quick cleanup huddle.
