Why Game-Day Food Matters
The right food spread keeps the fans high on energy and engaged from kickoff to final whistle, which means that food is not just a snack, but is a major part of the game-day experience
- The Role of Food in Bringing Fans Together: Small, bite sized finger foods are a game-day favourite as they can be passed on without missing out on any game-action. Besides, sharing food, passing down high-fives and pizza slices and wings, keeps a sense of camaraderie, victory and celebration, with every bite passed around. Most popular picks from Manny & Olga’s have always been- our crispy wings with a variety of sauces and cheesy, fresh pizzas just out of the oven.
- Balancing Convenience and Flavor: As already mentioned, game day must be about enjoying the game together and not being stuck in the kitchen. Manny & Olga’s offers the best food by making it quickly delivered, fresh, satisfying and full of flavor. Ordering from Manny & Olga’s not only provides you and your guests with an amazing spread of customisable menu options but also delivers hot and fresh food at your door-step allowing a perfect balance of taste with convenience.
Building the Ultimate Game-Day Spread
A variety of satisfying main dishes, flavourful sides, and drool-worthy snacks are a perfect game-day spread that keep the crowd full and satisfied throughout the game. Here are the steps to build the ultimate game-day spread:
- Pizza- The Star Player: Pizza is the real champion of game-day food as its customisable, shareable, and a universal crowd pleaser. However intense or interesting the game gets, pizza always brings fans together. Manny & Olga’s offers a huge range of pizza options to suit everyone’s taste including- classic favourites like pepperoni and margherita; specialty pizzas loaded with flavor; and all of these come in different sizes to feed both small and large gatherings- all with an endless choice of toppings that every guest can find their favourite slice.
- Wings- The Ultimate Sidekick: Wings are perfect for game time snacking- they are saucy, flavourful and packed with shareable energy that no game day is complete without wings. Manny & Olga’s offer wings in lip-smacking flavours like- classic Buffalo, Sweet & Smokey BBQ, and Garlic Parmesan for spicy kick, and rich and savory bites. Pairing them up with ranch or blue cheese dip makes for an ultimate combo!
- Snacks and Dips for Every Fan: Quick, crowd-friendly snacks keep the game-energy high. Snacks like Chips & Guacamole, Loaded Nachos, Veggie platters with Ranch or Hummus are a guaranteed hit because of their creamy, zesty, fresh and crunchy textures that every bite keeps the guests occupied, satisfied and adds variety to the game-day menu.
Tips for Elevating Your Game-Day Setup
Game-day is not just about the food but also about how you serve it to make it convenient and easy for the host as easy as it is for the guests to access it. This keeps the spirit of the game high and allows for an easy cleanup post-game-night for the host. Here’s is how you can organise a hassle-free set up to make for a smooth and enjoyable game-night:
- Organise food stations:
- Consider a designated “grab-and-go” station for drinks, sides, snacks, mains and napkins to keep the flow organised and easily accessible by everyone.
- Place dips and sauces in their designated stations nearby so guests can easily add them to their plates for an extra kick of flavor.
- Use tiered trays and serving platters to make everything easily accessible and avoid unnecessary crowding near the table.
2. Add a DIY element:
- Make it an interactive game-night by adding a “build-your-own-food” station.
- A DIY Pizza slice or a Nacho Bar can make for a perfect option where guests can add their own favourite toppings like jalapenos and olives or extra cheese and salsa and guacamole for a personalized snacking experience for your guests.
- Labeling the topping counters in a funky manner will add a touch of theme to your game-night and will also make things easy for selection.
3. Keep Cleanup Simple:
- Using disposable plates, napkins and cups makes serving and disposing of used items easy and makes for a stress-free cleanup. Opting for parchment and tinfoil linings for trays will save up on dishwashing time. Setting up designated spots for used item disposal can make it easy for guests to keep things tidy. This effortless clean setup can help make post-party cleaning effortless and the host will not have to worry about post-game mess.
These simple effortless hosting tips can make your game-night a seamless stress-free experience where all you get to focus on is the team and the game!
