Game day foods in the US

[Nevrknow]

That’s what I love about “Q”. I have had it in every Q city and honestly wouldn’t push away a plate of any of it. The ribbing and bragging makes it fun tho. 😬

Except for the mustard based SC stuff. No thanks 😂

I'm calling BS on google having good data on this subject

I’m with you on this @bassistheplace!!!

Lived in California 30+ yrs until last year. Sliders?!? No way! Bbq tri-tip, ribs, and chicken by a long shot!

And no way can birria tacos be the top in Idaho, no way. Most people in Idaho don’t even know what birria is made from (young goats for those who don’t). My In-laws are from Mexico, and they only make birria for special occasions, and the Super Bowl is not one of those…

Wikipedia says non-Mexican Birria inspired red tacos are popular because pictures of it are instagram friendly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birria

"In recent years, a popular adaption of birria has been quesabirria, a style of taco composed of a brisket birria served with melted cheese in a taco that has been stained red by the birria marinade. While not a traditional Mexican dish, quesabirria, also known as red tacos, has become popular in the United States due to its Instagram-friendliness.^[2][3]"

Might be mexican after all:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quesabirria

"Quesabirria (also called quesotacos^[1] or red tacos^[2]) ("cheese birria") is a Mexican dish comprising birria-style cooked beef folded into a tortilla with melted cheese and served with a side of consommé for dipping. Eater has described quesabirria as "a cross between a taco and a quesadilla." The dish, which has origins in Tijuana, Mexico, gained popularity in the United States through Instagram.^[1][3]"

While there is great Q in lots of cities, my biased opinion leans toward Memphis, TN if you're going to award a gold medal for best BBQ city. 🤩 I mean, the World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest is held there every year, and there isn't a true pitmaster on the planet who doesn't consider it a mecca/bucket list destination in their cooking journey.

I will concede that Memphis' mystique is most relevant for pork (and spagetti), and that TX is hard to beat if you're looking for beef ribs or brisket. 

Flame away, LOL!! Cigars go great with any smoker regardless of location, too.

Nah. I'll stand by the livestock show bbq cook off and the terlingua chili championship as the true test.

And the absolute best ribs in the US is from Tuscaloosa Alabama at dreamland. 

I think that those upper south/middle souther states emphasize ribs. But, obviously my opinion, they still tend to cater to the shredded meat crowd. To us that means bad meat. Be proud of your meat! Eat it whole.

Edit: here I am hungry, on shift, waiting till I can get back to Houston for vacation and eat some BBQ. What they have out here in deep west texas is a tragedy. I could probably open a successful restore here.

I think the quintessential game day food in the US has to be chicken wings. It's the reason news reports start popping up every February decrying a "chicken shortage". I do love a lot of the foods I saw on the list and see them a lot at game day parties (7-layer dip, Texas caviar, buffalo chicken dip), but I don't think anything is called out more for the event other than wings.

In my area pork BBQ is part of any sporting tailgate or watch party. I always try to volunteer a Sausage & Cheese plate since it's easy and there is never anything to bring home except for the plate.

Oh no no no! Yall don't even eat brisket. Just shredded waste meat. And all those vinegar sauces...

I have this on going debate with my boss, who is from SC. I introduced him to brisket not long ago, and my strawberry jam based sauce. Mind blowing experience for him.

To be fair, the best I've had in NC was lulas in Asheville. 

Fuzzy's in Madison N.C. used to be some good bbq until he gave it up. Now it's rank.

I checked this map, I might not have the faintest idea about the diet each state has, but chili in NE, really? I always thought a stadium or a team has a traditional food.

In europe this is much less a thing. I had a girlfriend in Munich, went to a few Bayern Munchen games, it was just the traditional sausage and sauerkraut.
