Every­thing is big­ger in Texas and par­ties are no excep­tion. This is the 2010 ver­sion of our annual Super Bowl party — Super Bowl 44, Indi­anapo­lis Colts vs. New Orleans Saints. This year we had over 221 pounds of meat includ­ing: 4 briskets, pulled pork, Beef Welling­ton, home­made meat­balls, home­made cooked– to-order Cuban sand­wiches, deer nuggets (deer ten­der­loin and bacon wrapped around a jalapeno), Sabrett “dirty water” nat­ural cas­ing hot dogs, home ground burg­ers, crab cakes, a chuck roast, bratwurst, and BBQ ribs. The sides included piero­gies, mashed pota­toes, can­died sweet pota­toes, NYC soft street pret­zels, along with sev­eral oth­ers. As for dessert, there were over a dozen choices includ­ing cheese­cakes, tiramisu, apple pies, brown­ies, and the Lom­bardi Tro­phy cake which was home­made by yours truly. Finally, there was an assort­ment of bev­er­ages to wash every­thing down. It took our team 3 days of prep before the game, along with 4 grills, 4 ovens, numer­ous cake pans, a side burner sta­tion, sand­wich presses, a meat grinder, and a deli slicer to put all of this together.
