Chef Kenny's Party Planning Playbook
To help avoid any entertaining penalties when planning your Super
Bowl party, Chef Kenny offers these tips:
-- Develop a Game Plan: Plan ahead and keep track of the little
details. The more you can take care of before the party starts
means you'll have that much more time to spend with your
guests at the event.
-- Victorious Vittles: You can never have too much food at a
Super Bowl party. Try something simple but creative and
everyone wins.
-- Get Your Props: Gather football paraphernalia to decorate for
the party. Use upside down football helmets lined with cloth
napkins as serving bowls for dry snacks such as chips or nuts.
Add a dash of color and fill your house with balloons in the
dueling teams' colors.
-- Party Politics: To ensure that the die-hard fans catch every
exciting minute of the big game, it's a good idea to set up
another TV for some of the "less-intense" fans to talk while
they watch the game.
-- Go For the Extra Points: Add a little extra flair by planning
games and conversation to get your guests mingling. Plan a
half-time trivia game based on football facts or as an
alternative, discuss everyone's favorites from the new TV
commercials.
