Super Bowl food preferences
We're just a few weeks away from the Super Bowl, and one aspect many fans look forward to during the big is the food! FOX 5's Tisha Lewis spoke to residents in the DMV to find out which Super Bowl foods they prefer.
Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles kicks off Sunday, February 12 at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX 5. Ahead of the big game, we compiled lists of some of the best places to get Super Bowl focused foods in the D.C. region, and that means finding some authentic Kansas City barbecue.
To compile the list we first started with answering an important question – what is Kansas City barbecue?
Well according to famous Kansas City barbecue restaurant Q39, "it all comes down to the sauce. When compared to other prominent styles, Kansas City style sauces are sweet and thick. The recipe usually includes a base made with tomato and molasses, and you may find brown sugar as well. The sauce is cooked into the meat or brushed on immediately after cooking."
As for the meats, they are always smoked, and "any meat is fair game. Pork, chicken, and beef are traditional favorites, but fish, sausage, and turkey are commonly smoked as well."
