Is your Super Bowl menu getting a little dull? If wings and pizza have been your game plan the last few years, consider dipping into something a little different for Sunday’s match-up between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Don’t look for tubs of French onion or envelopes of dry ranch mix to swirl into mayonnaise. We’re talking putting a little more thought into your dipping.

For some, such as Jason Greer, director of food and beverage for a trio of Chattanooga restaurants — The Boathouse, SideTrack and Sugar’s Ribs — dips are a mainstay for his football fare.

“As a Texas native, I was raised by die-hard Cowboys fans, and my mom was the Super Bowl snack queen,” he says.

Dips are ideal on game-day menus, primarily because they can be made ahead and need no tending after they’re served. Just keep the chip bowl full.
