Kick Off Your Game Day in Kansas City with These Delicious Options
Ah, Kansas City! The heart of Red Kingdom, where the excitement of game day meets the irresistible allure of tasty food. No one does tailgating or watch parties half-heartedly around here, especially when celebrating our beloved Chiefs. Whether you’re throwing a casual gathering on the couch or heading out to tailgate, we’ve got the lowdown on some fantastic food options that will elevate your game day experience.
Gather Friends and Fuel Up Like Champions
While we all enjoy a good old crockpot dip or a classic veggie tray, why not spice things up a bit? Options like the First Down tailgate package from Fat Sully’s at Atomic Cowboy are perfect for sharing. For just $41.95, you can score a 20-inch pizza with one topping, a salad for two, and a pile of seasoned chicken tenders with fries–enough to feed a small army (or at least a handful of famished friends). This kit was our winning snack for the first game, and the leftovers made for a winning lunch too!
Sweet Treats for Every Fan
Don’t forget dessert! Head over to French Custard in Brookside for their delightful football brownie sandwiches. These gluten-free treats are not only adorable but deliciously sweet too at $7 each. Perfect for your watch party, and trust us, your gluten-sensitive pals will thank you as well. Make your order for up to 25 of these scrumptious sandwiches, and watch them disappear!
Dips, Chips, and a Whole Lot More
No game day is complete without some cozy dips. Pair your favorite dip with Yoli Tortilleria chips. What makes Yoli special? It’s their meticulous masa process and small-batch fresh tortilla chips, which even won a James Beard Award in 2023! If you’re lucky, you’ll find their special red and yellow corn chips in-store too. And of course, no dip is complete without a side of fresh salsa to dive into.
A Classic Combo: Chili and Cinnamon Rolls
If a true midwestern feast is your goal, throw in some cinnamon rolls from Tin Pan along with your chili. Nothing beats having those sweet rolls delivered straight to your door while they’re still warm! These rolls can upgrade your game day meal and become a fan favorite faster than you can say “touchdown.”
Bring the Stadium Home
If you want to replicate stadium food at home, get some sausage from the Italian Sausage Company. Try their popular Italian nachos made with tortilla chips topped with sausage crumbles, cheese sauce, and all the trimmings. But if you’re feeling traditional, a classic sausage on a bun is hard to beat!
Taco Party Pack for the Win
Tacos anyone? Order the Tiki Taco’s taco 12-pack starting at $29.99, and you’re all set for some bold flavors. The crunchy tacos stay intact even during the drive. But if you want to treat yourself, go for their street taco option topped with cilantro and lime for an extra zing. And let’s not forget the infamous Thai fried chicken taco, a quirky yet delicious choice!
Meat Lovers Unite!
For those who really want to go all out, grab the Round Trip sampler platter from Local Pig, which feeds 4 to 6 people for just $150. Think brisket, burnt ends, turkey, and even a half-slab of ribs, all rolled into one epic spread! If you want something a bit more refined, try the Football Day Spread, which includes a charcuterie board and a heap of pork burnt ends for $48.99. You’ll be the hero of the day with any of these picks!
Get Creative with Popcorn
Want something a little different? Consider creating a custom blend of popcorn from Popculture Gourmet Popcorn. With over 50 flavors—including vegan and gluten-free options—you can make every bite an exciting one. Don’t forget to order some unique labels for that added flair!
Cool Down with Frozen Fun
And to really ramp up the atmosphere at your gathering, think about hiring Brain Freeze for frozen daiquiris or even their pop-up bar. Customize your menu and let the good times roll. There’s nothing like chilled drinks paired with great food to take your watch party to the next level!
So there you go, Red Kingdom! With these delicious local options, your next game day will undoubtedly be a feast to remember. Gather your friends, grab some food, and cheer on those Chiefs with flavor and flair!
