How to Build a Super Bowl Table

Super Bowl Sunday doesn't have to be about fancy food. It’s about food that feeds people while they watch, talk, and keep their eyes on the game. Dips are perfect for that: easy to make, easy to serve, and easy to keep out for hours.

Washington: Smoked Salmon Spread

In Washington State, seafood isn’t special occasion food, it’s local food. People expect seafood on the table because it’s around them every day. A smoked salmon spread keeps that vibe but makes it party friendly.

It’s served cold, pairs with crackers, baguette slices, or vegetable sticks, and doesn’t need a stove once it’s on the table, but it could do well nestled in ice!

Massachusetts: Clam Chowder Dip

New England football watching is rooted in comfort. When it’s cold outside and the game runs long, people want warm food. A Clam Chowder Dip takes the classic chowder flavors and turns them into something scoopable with bread or chips.

This is a dip you can bake ahead and set out warm before kickoff. It’s rich, salty, and satisfying, the kind of food that keeps people seated and talking through commercials.

One Game, Two Styles

The fun of this matchup, Washington vs New England, isn’t just the teams. It’s how each region shows up for football.

• Cold dip that keeps people grazing

• Warm dip that keeps people sitting

That’s exactly what makes Super Bowl food work. People take what fits how they’re watching, and plenty of guests can eat without breaking focus on the screen.

How to Set the Table

Put both dips where everyone can reach. Have crackers, sliced baguette, and sturdy chips on hand. Use wide plates for seconds so people can grab twice without fuss. Enjoy! Go Team!
