Hungry? Guy Fieri cooking up $700 Super Bowl tailgate menu

Hungry? Santa Rosa celebrity chef Guy Fieri is preparing an all-you-can-eat, gut-busting buffet for Super Bowl weekend.|

TV personality Guy Fieri, Sonoma County's bleach-blond, blue-collar celebrity chef, has won the coin toss for the Players Super Bowl Tailgate, a $700 a head, pre-Championship game party where guests get to mingle with NFL players and celebrities while fortifying themselves with gourmet grub and alcohol.

The event, planned by the Bullseye Ticket Group, chose Fieri and celebrity chefs Beau MacMillan and Aaron May to prepare the all-you-can-eat, gut-busting buffet for the five-hour party, which starts at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 7 at an outdoor pavilion a few blocks from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The ticket price also includes pre-game television coverage on large screens, and a shuttle to the game (But not a ticket to the game itself. Sorry.)

Fieri follows in the footsteps of renowned chefs Marcus Samuelsson of New York, who cooked chicken and waffles before Super Bowl 48, and Chef John Besh of New Orleans, who cooked gumbo and other Big Easy eats for Super Bowl 47.

Fieri's menu encompasses a wide range of regions and flavors, including Italian (Old-Skool Italian Style meatballs) Mexican (a “Live” Nacho Bar ) Hawaiian (Kahlua Pig “Sour or Sweet”) and Cajun (Low Country Jambalaya).

And if that's not enough to kill you, there's also a Mac Daddy Mac and Cheese Bar, a Super Steak Sandwich Station and Beau Mac's Killer Raw Bar (crab, lobster, shrimp etc.) Plus a trio of over-the-top desserts, including Doughnut Bread Pudding with Brown Butter Bacon Bourbon Glaze. Urp!
