The Slice #24

What's up pizza people?!? This is The Slice, the newsletter that even Tom Brady thinks is the G.O.A.T. Before we talk pigskin, we've got some sweet merch to give away again this week - the first five subscribers to email [email protected] with the subject "Tee Me Up" will win a Flourchild long sleeve tee!

WE'VE TRAINED ALL SEASON FOR THIS

If you're like us, you spend most fall and winter Sundays sprawled out on the couch, mainlining football, wings, and queso for 7-10 hours. It's tough work, but someone has to do it. Super Bowl Sunday is the culmination of a season of hard work for the teams involved. It's also our last chance to eat and drink ourselves into a stupor in the name of fandom. There's a reason that more than 17 million Americans miss work the next day - the consumption stats are staggering. More than 320 million gallons of beer, 130 million pounds of avocados, 11 million pounds of potato chips, and 1.3 BILLION chicken wings! Don't forget the Tums - antacid sales will also increase by 20%. Let's loosen those belts and do our part!

FEED THE SQUAD

Speaking of eating yourself silly, there's no better time to gorge on pizza than Super Bowl Sunday - 60% of takeout orders on this holiest of days are for the sliced stuff. Luckily for you, Flourchild is your one-stop-shop for pizza and all the fixins'! Snag a Pickup Pack, complete with pizza, wings, garlic stix, dessert, and even a salad so you can pretend you're being healthy. Preorder yours now on Tock, and use code SLICEANDDICE for 10% off!!!

WHO YA GOT?

Each year, there are two cities battling for NFL supremacy, and the battle spills off the field to sources of civic pride. "Which city has better food?" is a common question - unless the Cincinnati Bengals are playing, because Skyline Chili is an abomination. This year, it's the Eagles and Philly Cheesesteaks against the Chiefs and Kansas City Barbecue. The Eagles have a historically dominant defensive front (4 different players with 10+ sacks!) and a powerful run game, with a pair of elite wideouts to boot. They also have cheesesteaks; a melty, meaty, messy amalgam of thinly-sliced steak, peppers and onions, and that most American of condiments, Cheez Whiz. The Chiefs have PATRICK FREAKING MAHOMES, who is literally a video game cheat code come to life. They also have their barbecue; less rigidly defined than other regional styles like Texas or Carolina, but still an immense source of local pride thanks to institutions like Joe's and Arthur Bryant's. Can the Eagles' well-rounded roster top the sport's most singular force? Are Philly Cheesesteaks better than KC Barbecue? Let us know!
