Here it is: I hate football. I know about a dozen of you, out of two dozen, just clicked off but it’s true. However, there ain’t no party like a Super Bowl party when it comes to the food.

Please don’t eat a huge plate of Buffalo wings and call it dinner, you will pay for that on the back-end. My other piece of advice is that you invest in a deep fat fryer.
