VINTON, Va. – The Super Bowl is just around the corner, and 10 News wanted to know how you’re planning to celebrate the big day.
“I’ll be with family at home,” said Nina Moore.
“I’m going to Pok-E-Joe’s. We’re gonna eat a bunch of wings,” said Trenton Henley.
Paul Creighton told 10 News that he had a less traditional plan.
“Really, I’m gonna skip it, tape it, and watch it after a long nap probably in the middle of the night. So, I can blow through the commercials and blow through the halftime show. I’m one of those people who’s not much about glitz, so this is the glitziest event I can think of. I’ll avoid it at all costs,” said Creighton.
Both Creighton and Moore said they’ll be whipping up some of their favorite dishes at home.
“Usually a dip with nachos,” said Moore.
“I haven’t done it in years. I’m gonna do a guacamole. My own recipe,” said Creighton.
However, some of you may not want to stay home or even cook for the big game. If that’s the case, there are plenty of restaurants that will be open, including Pok-E-Joe’s in Vinton.
Pok-E-Joe’s has a special Super Bowl Sunday menu that it’s ready to share with you.
“We have quite a few items. These are our top four sellers, starting with the loaded twister fries, which is seasoned beef, queso, peppers, onions, and garnished with green onions. And, then, of course, famous wings that we’re known for that we smoke them and deep fry them. These particular ones have the honey chipotle and mango habanero sauce, which we make in-house,” said Owner Cory Welch.
The restaurant, which will be open until the game is over, is also serving its pork rinds and a dirty mac with smoked chicken, bacon and topped with honey chipotle.
