Football season has arrived and The Chew crew is ready to tackle game day with some delicious dishes. On this episode of The Chew, titled “Football Feast,” hosts Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon are joined by special guest former NFL player Ryan Kalil to help whip up some crowd-pleasing dishes that are sure to score big with any football-watching crowd.
First up, the team tackles a classic football food: buffalo wings. But instead of the traditional deep-fried version, they opt for a healthier version by oven-baking the wings. They also experiment with different wing sauces, from the classic buffalo to a tangy barbecue sauce, to appeal to a variety of tastes.
Next, they move onto another game day staple: nachos. But once again, they put their own spin on the classic dish by using tater tots instead of tortilla chips as the base. They pile on toppings like seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, jalapenos, and sour cream to create a crowd-pleasing and hearty dish.
The crew then moves onto something a bit more unexpected: a loaded baked potato dip. This dip, which utilizes the flavors of a traditional baked potato, is a perfect dip to accompany chips or veggies and offers a nice alternative to the usual dips found at football parties.
For those looking for something a bit healthier, they turn to roasted vegetables with a flavorful herb dressing. The colorful dish includes red onions, bell peppers, and zucchini and is drizzled with a simple but delicious dressing made with herbs, olive oil, and red wine vinegar.
Finally, they finish off the meal with a sweet treat: a peanut butter and jelly sheet cake. This cake, which is inspired by the classic sandwich, is a fun and playful way to end the meal and bring some nostalgia to any game day party.
Throughout the episode, the hosts also share their favorite game day memories and give tips on how to host the perfect party. Their infectious energy and enthusiasm for food, football, and entertaining make this episode a must-watch for anyone looking to up their game day game.
