Super Bowls and Plates

By GEOFF JOHNSTON

Published on January 31, 2008

If your Super Bowl party snack spread is anything like ours it most likely resembles a dietary timeline associated with massive coronary arrest: fried mozzarella sticks, hot wings, jalapeño poppers and fried jalapeños stuffed with hot wings wrapped in bacon and mozzarella. That's all well and good for undignified slobs like us, but your guests want something a little fancier. They don't want crap; they want cuisine. They don't want their food fried; they want it gently poached. They don't want greasy chicken wings slathered in ranch dressing; they want quail on a cracker. They don’t want pigs-in-a-blanket; they want asparagus swaddled in heavily cured prosciutto. They want a lot of things, these hypothetical Super Bowl party-attending friends of yours, and who are you to deny them such sophisticated munchies? So at this point you have two choices: Either get new friends or join the Central Market Cooking School Staff as they present Football Party Snacks, 11 a.m. Saturday at Central Market Plano, 320 Coit Road. The demonstration is free. Call 469-241-9336 or visit centralmarket.com.
