On Sunday February 3, the New England Patriots will play in the 53 Super Bowl, and the rest of us will eat a lot of great food — hopefully. If you're hosting, you'll want to check out these Patriot-themed Super Bowl food and drink ideas, because a little creativity in the kitchen can lead to very happy guests. While your Super Bowl party guests will likely be glad to eat anything you put in front of them, it won't hurt to lean into a theme.
