- Andy Samberg shared his go-to food for the Super Bowl on the latest episode of SNACKS!
- The comedian shared that the rules are different on game day, choosing wings for the Super Bowl, but nachos and pizza for everything else in life.
- Despite his stance on Super Bowl wings, Samberg adds that it’s “gross” and “disgusting” to watch someone else eat the game-day snack.
There are a lot of conflicting thoughts when it comes to Super Bowl snacking—makes sense, considering it’s practically a sport in its own right. And while there’s typically enough room on the table for all your fave game day grub—pizza, wings, nachos, subs, sliders—there is a hierarchy.
Among the Delish audience, nachos reign supreme. But Andy Samberg’s take on the great Super Bowl snack debate? There’s one obvious—albeit potentially controversial—winner.
“If I’m being fully real? Wings,” the former SNL star revealed to Delish Editorial Director Joanna Saltz on the latest episode of the podcast, SNACKS!
“Super Bowl: wings. All of life: nachos,” Samberg added of his stance. And when asked about pizza vs. wings, he was similarly conflicted but steadfast: “In life, pizza by a mile. During the Super Bowl? Wings.”
But that doesn’t mean he finds the whole tradition necessarily…pleasant at a party. “Make no mistake—watching somebody go to town on some wings is gross,” he continued. “In a communal setting, give me nachos or pizza. Watching someone lick their fingers while eating buffalo wings is disgusting. But when it’s you, it’s beautiful. Alone in the dark, watching the Super Bowl on mute.”
And despite loving pizza year-round, Samberg says it’s just “not what I imagined when I’m watching football.” Nachos and sliders, on the other hand? Totally pass the vibe check—as long as someone else is preparing them. “[I cook] not well. I’m better at eating than cooking,” he added.
In that case, feel free to stop by our Super Bowl party, Andy!
