Your Super Bowl Party en Français!

Watching the Playoffs today? We're getting pretty excited about all of the festivities surrounding Super Bowl XLV!


If you want to go out and celebrate, Chez would love to have you. We'll have the game on in our lounge, Cork's II. The taps will be flowing and there are plenty of choices in the food department for you and all of your friends!


Otherwise, if you're hosting or even invited to a Super Bowl party, think French! We've compiled some great ideas to get you thinking on the French track for your Super Bowl gathering!

French Inspired Appetizers
French Cheese Plate with Olives, Grapes, and Baguette 
Mini Croissants with Meats, Cheeses, and/or Dips (such as Spinach or Artichoke)
Baked Brie with Preserves and Crackers
Pate with Crackers
Smoked Salmon Platter

French Inspired Salads
Mixed Baby Greens Salad with Cranberries, Gorgonzola, Walnuts & Vinaigrette Dressing
Bowtie Pasta with Peas and Prosciutto in a Creamy Tarragon Dressing

French Inspired Main Courses
French Onion Soup in a Crockpot with Croutons and Shredded Gruyere cheese 
on the side (for guests to portion as they dish their soup).  
Pot au Feu with Vegetables (Similar to a beef pot roast)

 French Inspired Desserts
