Big Game Party Ideas on the TODAY Show
What are you doing Super Sunday?
If you’re gathering with friends and family to watch the "Big Game," I hope you're making some of my favorite game day dishes and drinks. Earlier this week, I shared my ideas on the TODAY Show with hosts Carson Daly, Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker. We had Ginger Scallion Wings, Baked Sriracha Buffalo Wings, Pigs in a Blanket, my favorite Guacamole, and specialty cocktails from my restaurant, The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Paris Las Vegas - and inspired by this year's playing teams, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here are some photos, enjoy. And if you missed the segment, click on this highlighted link to watch!

- Did you see my Instagram page @MarthaStewart48? It was a star studded morning at the TODAY Show earlier this week. I caught up with Sly Stallone. He was there with his family promoting the second season of his reality series, “The Family Stallone” on Paramount+.
-
- I was there to celebrate this weekend’s Big Game with lots of delicious party ideas. This year’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It’s the first time the football championship game will be played in Sin City. I’ll be there – will you?
-
- During my segment, I shared this delicious recipe for Ginger Scallion Wings with scallions ginger, salt, and oil mixed in a food processor, tossed with the baked wings, and then put into the oven for an additional 10-minutes.
-
- Here’s host Carson Daly helping me toss the sauce with the wings.
-
- I also showed my Baked Sriracha Buffalo Wings – another big favorite served with celery sticks and blue cheese crumble.
-
- Everybody loves Pigs in a Blanket. Here’s my rendition made with sausage. I called them “Brockwursts” after you know who… Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. One can use any fully cooked sausages, such as frankfurters, andouille, or chicken sausages – I used my Good Things seal of approval Brats from Schaller and Weber.
-
- Then I made a bowl of my favorite guacamole, which I call “Mahome-a-mole” after Kansas City Chiefs QB, Patrick Mahomes.
-
- It starts with a molcajete that contains avocados, jalapenos, tomatoes, and cilantro. I added lime juice, onion, and hard boiled eggs.
-
- And then serve it with tortilla chips – homemade, of course.
-
- All the dishes were big hits with Craig, Savannah, Hoda, and Al.
-
- And don’t forget my game day inspired cocktails, the San Francisco cocktail and Kansas City Water – specialty drinks from The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Paris Las Vegas.
-
- The San Francisco cocktail is a classic cocktail that first appeared in the “Cafe Royal Cocktail Book” in 1937. Lore has it that American bartenders fled to Britain during the prohibition and developed this drink. It’s a play on a martini, a cocktail with strong ties to San Francisco.
-
- It’s made with gin plus the combination of both sweet and dry vermouth and bitters.
-
- And Kansas City Ice Water is made with gin and tonic and vodka soda.
-
- To make it even more delicious and refreshing, I add limes and lemons.
-
- Cheers everyone! Enjoy whatever you serve for your Big Game party. And may the best team win! And follow this blog on Instagram @marthastewartblog.
