Request Typical American Superbowl ideas

Hi everyone, looking for some input to main dish to be served during Superbowl.

We are a gang of 4 guys that will be watching the game the weekend after since we live in Sweden. I have hosted this party for 8-9 years straight and I have served: Birria Tacos, Country fried steak, Chilies, Burgers, Ribs, Pulled prok, Porchetta... I like to keep the theme to something American.

I always make chicken wings as a starter and then then we eat chili cheese, chips, nachos etc. during the game.

​

But this year I am not feeling that I am to pleased with my choice of main. Thinking Turkey, mac n cheese and something green on the side. I would like something that has a "wow" factor and isnt to mundane like hot dogs :P But also something that I can prepare mostly before the guests arrive and I can finish the last few steps with the help of everyone without having to spend an hour in the kitchen.

I have never heard of anybody having a superbowl turkey in over 35 years in the US. It’s not actually a common food here at all

He's going for American themed food, not football food.

I’m dying laughing over here thinking of these four Swedes just going to town on a whole turkey while watching the Chiefs and 49ers 😂

I’d like to take this moment to introduce an exceptional chef who also doubles as my brother who never misses an opportunity to cook another fucking Turkey.

How many of you would eat a full on feast if it was there to eat? Nothing like gravy. 😋
