Frequently Asked Questions
It can be difficult to know how much food to make if you are hosting an event or a gathering. Make sure that each guest has at least one portion of each dish, and then make a little more for good measure.
It is better to send your guests home with leftovers than to let them go hungry!
The key to planning a good menu is variety. Choose a few dips with at least one meat free option. Pick one flavor of chicken wing, one type of slider, one type of pizza-style dish etc.
Make sure there are some vegetarian dishes, and a few lighter choices that aren’t heavy on the cheese. You should also have a couple of dessert options.
When your guests arrive before the game, serve picky snacks and food that is easy to eat with your fingers along with some drinks. Make sure there is some hot food to enjoy during the halftime show, and desserts for when the game is over.
