CC Super Bowl Pick and Food

Celadon Chinoiserie Eagle Sculpture


I have been a Philadelphia Eagles fan since college at Bryn Mawr on Philadelphia's Main Line. When I started college, I drove a huge Cadillac from Chicago to Philadelphia to bring out all my things. The Cadillac belonged to a Chicago Bears player who had been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and needed his car brought East.

So I am picking the Eagles even though I am also a big Patrick Mahomes fan. But with his ankle injury, he is not 100.% In addition, the eagle is often depicted in chinoiserie. It is a symbol of strength and resolve in Chinese culture. You will find it in Chinese porcelain. So the Eagles are a Chinoiserie Chic pick.

And I am staying in because after going to many Super Bowl parties over the years, most people are there to socialize and I love football and I actually want to watch the game. They are two great teams worthy of being in the Super Bowl. And I am looking forward to Rihanna's Halftime Show!

In the fourth quarter, be watching for Melissa McCarthy and husband Ben Falcone in their Printfresh High Horse pajamas in a commercial for Booking.com. Find the High Horse collection here.

I am having hot buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing, homemade guacamole and chips, and stuffed jalapeños. I am not a beer fan, so I'll be pairing this spicy menu with an off dry Alsatian Reisling.

Will you be watching the big game, who are you rooting for, and what are you having to eat? Enjoy your day and the game.

  1. Lived in the Kansas City area for many years and were neighbors of former Chiefs coach the late Marty Schottenheimer so I’ll always be a Chiefs fan. Mostly I’m rooting for no injuries!

  5. As a diehard Eagles fan, I will be home for the game. I'll be keeping it simple with Kronenbourg, Rocco's Taco's handmade guac and clips. Need to keep it simple for when I am yelling at the television. Go Birds!
