Fill Your Super Bowl LX Sunday with Famous Boston and Seattle Foods
For New England Patriots Fans
Roasted Oysters with Cornbread, Leek and Banana Pepper Crumble
It’s no surprise that oysters are one of the prime foods of this seafood town. If you’re making oysters at home, we have a way to shake things up besides mignonette sauce. These Roasted Oysters contain a cornbread, leek, and banana pepper crumble that expands the oyster flavor you know and love.
Sheet Pan Roasted Shrimp, Clams, Asparagus & Leeks
There’s a little something for everyone in this sheet pan seafood mix. We’re featuring tasty clams, shrimp, asparagus, and leeks all in a savory white wine butter. Super simple, this dinner doesn’t take much prep leaving you with a delicious product easily.
Cod & Potato Chowder with Coconut Milk, Lime & Cilantro
We know clam chowder is the usual soup in Boston but we’re incorporating cod instead. This chowder warms the winter chill with chunks of potato in a creamy and tangy coconut milk broth. Plus there are jalapeños that add just the right amount of spice.
Zesty Shrimp Rolls
Quality lobster is hard to come across if you don’t live on the coast so we’re utilizing shrimp instead to create a roll with the same great flavor. These Zesty Shrimp Rolls use a coating that’s light but full of citrus and a punch of heat. It all comes together for a bite that’s well-rounded in taste and texture.
Reuben Salad with Grilled Cheese Croutons
Boston is Irish to its core with a large population of its citizens loving corned beef, Irish soda bread, and Guinness. Our Reuben Salad is the beloved sandwich in a healthier form. But don’t be fooled, it’s just as delicious with grilled cheese croutons, corned beef, and a homemade thousand island dressing.
For Seattle Seahawks Fans
Bruschetta with Crushed Peas and Smoked Salmon
In case you’re looking for an appetizer bite with Seattle flair, a smoked salmon topping along with fresh crushed peas makes for a decadent bruschetta. There’s notes of dill, lemon, and olive oil layered here that make this finger-food feel elegant all the way throughout.
Teriyaki-Glazed Grilled Octopus
Did you know teriyaki is wildly popular in Seattle thanks to Toshihiro Kasahara who also started the trend in the 70’s. Our version of teriyaki includes using it as a glaze for perfectly-grilled octopus. It’s rich and acidic but plenty delicious with yuzu and a bit of wasabi.
Salmon Tartare and Salmon Grilled Cheese
Here we give you two choices for featuring one of Seattle’s most prosperous ingredients, salmon. You could choose to make a Salmon Tartare on its own featuring a white soy dressing and avocado purée. Or, you could choose to make a grilled cheese sandwich that stuffs it full of cold-smoked salmon, pickled onions, and horseradish vinaigrette.
Three Delicious Condiments for Hot Dogs and Beyond
Hot dogs are something special in Seattle. Some call it a Seattle Dog, some call it a Bagel Dog but the important part is the bun is slathered in cream cheese. Sometimes you’ll also see other topping like caramelized onions. But, we have our own topping for hot dogs. Fire-roasted Jalapeño Ketchup, Cilantro Aioli, and Pineapple Salsa are all amazing drizzled atop a dog but we wouldn’t blame you if you added cream cheese too.
Blueberry Dutch Baby
The Dutch Baby, a German pancake-like dish actually comes from Seattle thanks to Manca’s Cafe in the 1900’s. This particular recipe uses blueberries to blend with the sweetness like the powdered sugar and honey on top. It’s kind of like a dessert, kind of like breakfast, and absolutely devour-able.
