Super Bowl 2021 - Lockdown Edition
Despite Corona, the final of the US American professional football league National Football League (NFL) is taking place again this year: the Super Bowl! On Sunday night, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Go Tom Brady!) will take on the Kansas City Chiefs. You can watch the sporting spectacle from 0:30 a.m. on various streaming providers. To get you in the right mood at home, we have put together some tips for the ultimate American feeling.
1. the right food
For a long evening full of sweaty muscles, you need lots of (greasy) American food! Of course, the classic burger is a must. As you know, Munich offers a large selection of really good burgers - including take-away. We would particularly like to recommend the burgers from Fresh Kitchen and Ruff's Burgers, which you can also have delivered to your home in lockdown.
If you prefer classic mac & cheese, chicken wings or onion rings , then you should take a closer look at the menu at the Hard Rock Café in the Old Town. Here you will find a large selection of (veggie and vegan) burgers as well as other classic American delicacies.
And if you're in the mood for TexMex, you can stock up on tortillas, tacos and salsas at Mercado de Mexico in Neuhausen. You can order by phone or e-mail and pick up your purchases on site.
2. the right drinks
It's not so easy to find the big beer brands from the USA in Munich's beer stores. Sure, you can always order online, but we prefer to support our locals. The long-established Pachmayr in Maxvorstadt actually stocks one of the well-known brands from the USA: Budweiser . It's probably not so bad if you have to do without Coors, Miller & Co. as there are plenty of American craft beers to discover. Biervana in Hohenzollernstraße, for example, has brands such as Stone Brewing and North Coast in its range. In the Bierothek, you can get Sierra Nevada, among others, which we can only recommend to you as beer connoisseurs.
3. the right snacks
You can't go wrong with snacks, as long as they are nice and unhealthy. Nachos with cheese sauce, popcorn and marshmallows are the classic Super Bowl snacks. If you want to stock up on particularly authentic sweets, you should check out the Munich candy store . Here you'll find Hershey's chocolate, Doritos and Nerds. Don't forget to brush your teeth!
For the lazy among you
If you prefer things to be convenient and uncomplicated, then the Golden Rocket 's Super Bowl RaKiste is the right thing for you. Here you can get everything you need for a night with Brady and Mahomes. For snacks, there are edamame and tortilla chips with creamy cheese and guacamole, for the main course you can look forward to baby back BBQ ribs with teriyaki, crispy organic chicken, Caesar salad with parmesan and mac and cheese, and caramelized popcorn is packed for the half-time show with The Weeknd. As the Super Bowl is known to last longer, you'll also find chili con carne for the last quarter. You certainly won't be hungry afterwards. Drinks are also provided with 6 bottles of 0.33l Augustiner Helles beer. The whole thing comes at a price: the box costs a hefty 110 euros, but should be enough for 2-3 people. Incidentally, the Goldene Rakete also has vegan and vegetarian boxes in its range, although these are not based on the Super Bowl theme. But nobody has to stay hungry on this night.
We hope you get through the night safely with our tips!
