So funny you mentioned popcorn @jcostiones! I remember those jiffy pop containers and thought it was the coolest thing ever.
H was on a week long ski vacation last week and I was home alone. I’ve been sick, and unable to eat much, but had this strange craving for popcorn. I’d bought some special popcorn, propagated for tenderness and lack of hulls. So I made some the old fashioned way, but I put too many kernels in the pan, and I burnt the crap out of the bottom layer or so. Despite shaking the pan. H came home and saw it on the stove. He asked me if I’d had the urge to burn a bunch of popcorn 
the pan is still soaking…

Those frozen mini pizza bagels and TGIF appys my son just loves during super bowl. Guac and chips. Ice cream sandwiches. A mostly processed food glut for the gang.

Those were dead simple as I recall. There is hardly anything to break that can’t be fixed.
It’s the woven cord that shorted out. Could you fix it with electrical tape or replace the cord? I have a strange attachment to it.
That’s trivial. Replace the cord. It would be unwise to repair the cord (which would be best with heat shrink crimps and a heat shrink cover, not electrical tape) since given an insulation failure there are surely more to come. Turn the fryer upside down and remove the cover plate that provides access to the cord. There are probably screws or bolts that hold the wire in place. You can get replacement cords at hardware stores. I recommend crimp-on ring terminals rather than just wrapping the wire around screws or bolts. If the existing wire is riveted in place (unlikely) get back to me and I’ll walk you through the repair.

You’re welcome.
It occurs to me that you probably have an old two-prong plug on your existing cord. If the replacement cord is three prong it’s important to connect the wires correctly - just send me a picture dave@auspiciousworks.com of the inside of the bottom of the fryer where the wires go and I’ll tell you how to hook it up.
Ok, will do, and thanks again, may be a few days before I get to a hardware store.
Time to resurrect this but with different teams. So are you picking burnt ends or cheesesteaks, or are you forsaking allegiance to either city or team and going some very different direction? We usually default to nachos and beer, but I do love cheesesteaks, and the weather will be perfect for barbecuing. My only firm requirements are that it must be something decadent enough that I rarely have it, and that it be easy enough to prepare that I can handle it during the half time show.

@Vecchiouomo No allegiance to either team, and I made my choice of SB eats without thinking of traditional foods for either location. Country-style pork ribs will be the main, with sides I’m still debating.

We are doing a big paella on the grill outside. I’ll be on beer drinking duty and someone else cracking the crabs for this ! So maybe not super traditional … I don’t like either team … but there will also be chili dogs !
Have fun !

After considering cheesesteaks and KC-style ribs, we’re doing clam chowder and flaky biscuits.

A pescatarian friend is hosting & serving taco salad, so… not really a KS or PA thing.

Cheesesteaks here. Maybe a caramelized onion dip with potato chips, a few crudités. Provisioned up yesterday, provolone going on the sandwiches.

I was gonna make crabby snacks and homemades a la Silver Linings Playbook, but then I looked at the recipes and…no. So we’re having bbq tofu, guac and chips, hummus and crudite, shrimp cocktail and like that.

I am feeling inspired. Now I am thinking ribs and coleslaw. Since both QBs are Texans, I choose Texas style.

Lotsa tacos of all stripes in KC.
Salad included but especially deep fried/tacos dorado.
Can’t speak for the city of brotherly love.
This is a weird Superbowl because the teams and cities don’t really abhor each other, as is so often the case.
