The Only Game Day Recipes You Need: Bea’s Top Three Picks
Game day is serious business in the Citron household. Not just because there’s football on, but because it’s one of those sacred family moments where everyone gathers, snacks aggressively, and argues lovingly about the score. And if there’s one thing Bea Citron does best (besides making South Miami feel like family), it’s feeding a crowd the right way.
So in true Team Citron fashion, Bea has narrowed it down to three must-make recipes. No endless scrolling. No overthinking. Just crowd-pleasing, game-winning food courtesy of our friends at Epicurious
1. Crispy Boneless Buffalo Wings
If game day had a MVP, this would be it. These boneless buffalo wings hit every note: crispy, juicy, spicy, and unapologetically messy. They’re marinated in buttermilk, fried to golden perfection, then tossed in a buttery hot sauce that knows exactly what it’s doing.
Why Bea loves them: They’re easy to grab, impossible to resist, and guaranteed to disappear before halftime. Add the blue cheese dip and celery sticks, and suddenly you’re hosting like a pro.

2. Grilled Chicken Nachos with Pinto Bean Dip
Nachos are non-negotiable on game day, and this version is next level. Grilled, chili-spiced chicken layered over crunchy tortilla chips, melty cheddar and Monterey Jack, jalapeños, fresh tomatoes, and a homemade pinto bean dip that pulls it all together.
Why Bea recommends them: They feed a crowd, look impressive, and somehow still feel comforting. Plus, everyone can customize their plate, which keeps the peace. Very important.
3. Classic Guacamole
No game day spread is complete without guac. This classic Epicurious version is simple, fresh, and exactly how it should be. Ripe avocados, lime juice, a little garlic, and just enough seasoning to let the flavors shine.
Why it makes the list: It’s the ultimate supporting player that somehow steals the spotlight. Perfect with chips, spooned over nachos, or eaten straight from the bowl. No judgment.
Final Whistle
At Team Citron, we believe food, family, and football go hand in hand. Bea’s top three picks keep things simple, delicious, and stress-free so you can focus on what matters most: being together, cheering loud, and making memories.
Try one, try all three, and let us know which one wins MVP in your house. From our family to yours, happy game day.
