It's New York vs. New England at Patsy's!

As you all know, we've got an exciting Super Bowl coming up - a rematch of 2008's unbelievable game between the Giants and the Pats. The entire country can't wait for Sunday, but for fans in NY and Boston, it's not just a game - pride is on the line here. Whichever city wins will have bragging rights for the next few months, as well as being able to put another notch on their tally of "how many times we've beaten Boston/NY".

Hmm... wonder who Sinatra favors? ; )

Naturally, this means the city's on edge, so Patsy's has jumped into the ring as well, pitting some classic Boston dishes against some comparable NY dishes. Chef Sal was featured on LXTV, and hosted his own battle royal in our kitchen!

In Boston's corner, he made a pot of creamy New England Clam Chowder and some Boston Cream Pie. To compete with these Bostonian favorites, Sal made Manhattan Clam Chowder and a rich New York Cheesecake! If you caught the program, you were able to watch the drama unfold as some iconic foods from these two cities squared off - if you missed it, we'll get a link for you shortly with the video. ;)

But this isn't all! To show his support for Big Blue, Sal also whipped up some blue-colored food! If you're thinking "huh???", remember back to the Jet's season, where Sal made some green food to cheer them on? He figured it was appropriate to support the Giants in the same way!

Whoever knew food could look so blue?

Not bad, right? It was actually pretty difficult to come up with legitimate kinds of food that could be legally consumed in a restaurant while blue, so I'll walk you through what we're dealing with here.

On the top right you've got our classic Patsy's Cheesecake, with a twist - Sal stuffed that baby with plump, fresh blueberries. (When it came to figuring out what blue foods we could work with, blueberries were the first thing that came to mind - we had to find some way to fit them in!)

On the left is a more creative solution to blue food; a blue-potato pie! That's right, apparently blue potatoes are a thing, and Sal mashed them up, mixed them with some bleu cheese (haha!), and made a pretty delicious pie out of them. Interesting enough, this is the bluest looking offering, which was pretty impressive.

Finally, on the far right you'll see an assortment of fish. To be specific, those are blue-point oysters surrounding a choice cut of blue fish! They're blue in name, not in color, but let's be honest - you don't want to be eating fish or oysters that are genuinely blue!

So we've done our part for the G-men - we hosted a food-themed brawl in our kitchen, made blue food, and happily ate everything! The rest is up to them.

And if you're going to the game, stay warm! (Sorry, we couldn't resist.)
