Super Bowl food
Football and food fans have already started scouring Google in search of regional specialties or top trendy game day dishes that align with the two teams competing in Super Bowl LVIII.
As the San Francisco 49ers face off in a Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, Americans are expected to consume a whopping 1.45 billion pounds of chicken wings, according to the National Chicken Council.
Ahead of the second biggest eating day of the year (just behind Thanksgiving), it comes as no surprise the internet is abuzz with top search results for wings.
In the last month, Google Trends data showed that searches spiked on the West Coast — specifically in California — for dry rubbed wings such as the sour and spicy combo of lemon pepper seasoning.

Toss together a batch of lemon pepper rubbed wings from Chef Nancie Greene, resident chef on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, for a taste of the top searched wing flavor, or try this zesty garlic wings recipe from food personality and creator Will Coleman for another delicious variation.
