At pubs/restaurants and venues, with all the trimmings!
Lots of pubs and venues host special Super Bowl screenings with all-American food and beer on the menu. For one chef from Kansas, this year's game marks a special experience. Michael Gratz, founder of Prairie Fire BBQ which recently opened a bricks and mortar store in White City, London, explained that "The Chiefs in the Super Bowl hasn't happened in my lifetime. Honestly I'm most excited for Kansas City as a whole, the 50 year Super Bowl drought has finally ended. There have been promising teams in the past and now finally we're in. I'm hoping the end result will match the magic of 2015 Royals winning the World Series. It's the Chiefs' turn to bring a trophy home! On a side note, Eric Rosenberg, my business partner, is from San Francisco of all places so the Chiefs must win for workplace bragging rights alone!" Michael and Eric are hosting a special Super Bowl Party on February 2nd, check out details at https://www.designmynight.com/london/whats-on/sport/prairie-fire-super-bowl-watch-party
