Say yes to the latest Tik Tok eating trend, the chopped Italian Sandwich looks like a winner for Super Bowl parties. What is not to like when you make a chopped salad into a sandwich?  I really can’t believe it took my whole lifetime for this to finally be discovered. Afterall, it make so much sense. Who doesn’t like a nice chopped salad? Heck, half the work of chewing and cutting is already done and on your plate.

So why not take that same concept and put it inside a sub roll? That’s exactly what this social media influencer has done and now it’s about to sweep the nation.

Alexa Santos, known for her culinary creations on social media as @alexawhatsfordinner, has been sharing her delicious dishes since 2020, and moved into content creation full-time last January.

“I’ve always been a die-hard foodie, since both of my parents have been in the restaurant industry their whole careers,” she told “Good Morning America.”

Super for Super Bowl parties

Top 10 Massachusetts Super Bowl Snacks

With the Big Game just days away, let’s dive into a heapin’ helpin’ of the Top 10 Massachusetts Super Bowl snacks.

 

Gambling.com crunched the numbers (and the chips) to come up with this Top 10 list. How’d they do it?

“Using Google Search Volumes, 30 of the USA’s most popular Super Bowl dishes were analyzed, to see which item had been searched the most over Super Bowl weekend last year. These were then compiled, and a top 10 ranking was created.”

 

They continue:

“From wings and pizza to chips and dips, reports state the average American eats around of 2,400 calories during the 4-hour game… so which snacks do Massachusetts residents go mad for around game time, and over the entire Super Bowl weekend?”

 

Top 10 Massachusetts Super Bowl Snacks

Here’s my question, though: are the parties for Super Bowl LVII going to be as big in Massachusetts as they would be if, say, it was the Patriots in the Big Game taking on the Eagles and not the Chiefs? I’m guessing no. I’m guessing that since it’s a non-New England year, it’s not a cattle call to all family and friends. I’m guessing the average Super Bowl soiree this year will be a little more low-key.

 

Still, though, there will be food. And plenty of it.

 

The Gambling.com rankings break it all down, and I’ve shared their Top 10 below. If I’m being honest (and I am), it’s not a controversial list. There is one item, however, that I was surprised to see. It sits at No. 9. Will it be a surprise to you, too? Or is it a Super Bowl party staple at your table? Take a look, and remember to keep an eye out for Ozzy Osbourne and Joan Jett during the commercial breaks on Super Bowl Sunday. Oh, and pass the nachos, please. Thanks.
