Sweet and Southern Ground Turkey Meatball Sliders on whole grain and pumpernickel dinner rolls.
The fix is in for Super Bowl 54.
It’s going down on Sunday, February 2, 2020 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Demi Lovato will belt out the national anthem and Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will dazzle us with halftime show performances.
It’s gonna be a helluva game with the San Francisco 49ers going up against the Kansas City Chiefs who have not made a Super Bowl appearance in 50 years.
About 100 million people will be watching the game, along with the New England Patriots organization whose run as the Super Bowl “usual suspects” was interrupted this year by the Tennessee Titans.
Are the Chiefs hungry? You better believe they are.
And this game will require some good grub to take you from the opening coin toss to the final touchdown.
