Although viewers cannot jump on a plane in time to enjoy the big game in person now, they can borrow a few of the highlighted food ideas for their own celebrations.

Overall, this episode of La Comida del Barrio serves as a reminder that visiting a city for a big event is an opportunity to explore the food culture.
