On Saturday, I had a few people over to watch college football’s SEC title game. The game was amazing as advertised, and fortunately the undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide beat the hell out of the then undefeated Florida Gators, 32-13.
Food-wise, I decided I’d keep things simple and cook up a few game-time standards. I’ve always loved the idea of making traditional American bar / stadium food at home, focusing on high-quality ingredients and good technique, and really giving those dishes their due.
Since I was already deep-frying chicken wings (which you should experience at home if you haven’t), I decided to make my own tortilla chips with store-bought flour tortillas.
All I needed in addition were some vegetables, and a couple of dips. I chose the classic bagna cauda, guacamole and hummus — none of which required much active cooking.
It all turned out well — Roll Tide.
