Sunday night is the Big Game, the grandaddy of them all, the Super Bowl. But while everyone will be watching to see if the Saints will be victorious in their first Bowl appearance, we at Porktastic will be focused on the Super Bowl of Food. This tasty competition has been going on at the U.S. Senate cafeteria’s American Grill, where, for the past couple weeks, restaurant goers have been getting a taste of what each team is made of – literally. Working with staff from New Orleans and Indiana, they cooked up sandwiches based on hometown favorites.
So who are the star players competing in this Porktastic display of culinary excellence? Representing New Orleans and the Bayou we have the Shrimp Po’boy. And for Indianapolis and the Heartland, our personal favorite, the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich.
It just so happens that the Hoosier State’s 3,000 hog farmers marketed more than 8 million pigs last year, making Indiana the 5th largest producer of pork in the US. With stats like these, we think this deep-fried delicacy is a Porktastically perfect way to represent the team and the town. And since the Colt’s are so well-fed, our money is on them to win it all. Go Colts!
