This year it’s the New Orleans Saints vs. the Indianapolis [...]]]> Yes, it’s that time of year again!  Last year I did a post about what to serve at your Superbowl party which was a lot of fun for me.  This year I figured I would capture the magic one more time!

This year it’s the New Orleans Saints vs. the Indianapolis Colts in Miami.  A group of friends are throwing what is sure to be a GREAT party that is the inspiration for this post.  There are some great cities involved in the Superbowl this year so why not have your party themed around foods from the cities involved instead of just doing the usual chicken wings and guac?

MIAMI

Whenever I think Miami I sill hear this song by Will Smith… you know it, MIAMI! True story. Miami is filled with tons of good eats. Not only is there a ton of seafood but since the city is filled with people from all over the Caribbean and South and Central America meaning the food takes on those characteristics.

NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans is a pretty awesome food city.  I’ve never been but it is without a doubt on my list of food vacations to do in the near future.  They have seafood galore, a penchant for sausages and they even eat deep-fried desserts!  Sounds like home.  Definitely consider putting a touch of NOLA on your Super Bowl party is a good idea.

INDIANAPOLIS

Okay, so foods from Indiana was a tricky one.  I asked a few people and no one good name a single food from Indiana.  I know they have corn and that’s about it.  And of course corn doesn’t really help since it’s not even corn season!  So I hit up the interwebs and came up with a few regional specialties.
