Soinger Superbowl Food

With the big game right around the corner, everyone is planning what to serve up during half time.  I tried to stick with classic dishes with new and exciting flavor profiles to show off some skill and good taste.  BBQ and wings are quintessential big game fare, and a good sandwich goes a long way too.  These were easy to make, and even easier to put together the day of the game, so that you can spend more time watching what matters and less time sweating in the kitchen.
