“Tonight, we have barbecues, a smokehouse, meat, seafood and of course, chicken wings and nachos,” he explains. We’re a little old-fashioned when it comes to determining who pays for food, we trade that from year to year. »
This time, the party was held at his good longtime friend, Danny Côté, in Saint-Hubert. Mr. Massé has therefore transported his entire “tailgate” arsenal in advance to be ready when the time comes. “It starts in the afternoon and we pay for the milking all evening. “, Underlines the one who has been a New England Patriots season ticket holder for 13 years.
What would a Super Bowl night be without chicken wings?
Adaptation
Martin Massé confides that the ten men whose friendship has lasted nearly 30 years are usually joined by twenty or even thirty other people for the ultimate match. In recent years, due to COVID, they had spent the evening together, outside, to comply with public health requirements.
The ten companions have obviously taken a liking to watching the match in the open air. “It’s fun to meet just between buddies who love football. It’s a more intimate atmosphere, but we’re so happy to meet like this every year, ”says the host of the evening.
It must be said that the party does not “really” take place outside. Danny Côté has set up a comfortable heated space sheltered from the wind so that he can enjoy his yard in winter. “When I launched the project in the last few months, I had only one thing in mind: it had to be ready for the evening of February 12. »
Undecided
Less than thirty minutes from kickoff, the two friends were divided over the result of Super Bowl LVII. “It’s going to be tight, that’s for sure. I would say the Eagles [de Philadelphie] will win by three points,” predicts Martin Massé.
For his part, Danny Côté showed greater precision. According to him, the Kansas City Chiefs would defeat the Eagles by a score of 28-25.
