It’s been a week and a day since the big loss. (They say time heals.) And while you won’t be heading to Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend, you will be watching the game. Or at least eating your way through it. So an epic smorgasbord of over-the-top eats seems to be in order. Behold the five you shouldn’t go without.
With an eye toward a balanced diet, allow us to suggest potato skins overwhelmed by bacon. Mix and match ones made with bacon, bacon jam, pork belly and cheddar with yam skins made with bacon jam, pork belly and sriracha sour cream. Oh, and by balanced diet we meant totally unbalanced.
The Hella Hot wings are just an amped-up version of hot wings with a habanero kick. So if that’s not enough, they’ve just added F*cking Hot Wings (think: spicy dry rub and fresh Thai chilies on top of the hottest hot sauce) in time for the game. Orders of more than 25 wings require a doctor’s note.
If dipping chips into guacamole requires one too many steps, conserve your energy and go for the burrito (dubbed: Nachos in a Roll) that has the chips already packed inside. In one bite, you’ll get equal parts tortilla chips, steak (or chicken), beans, cheese, sour cream, salsa and guac. Total burrito harmony.
Perhaps you’re already planning on ordering some beer pizzas (reminder: it’s pizza made with Anchor Steam dough and Sierra Nevada cheese). But if you want something stronger, there’s the New York Vodka Pie made with vodka tomato cream sauce. It’s got no affiliation with the Giants, unless you want it to.
You don’t have to skip the six-packs necessarily, but a five-gallon keg (the equivalent of 40 pints) of Hibiscus Saison from former cult gypsy brewers Pac Brew Labs would lend a level of brewing gravitas that no twack of light beer could match. Fair warning: this beer is pink.
