Hut, hut, hike— that’s right, INDY, the big game is just around the corner.

Whether you’re actually watching the big game — or just there for the halftime show and commercials — the key to a good game day party: the food.

We’ve got St. Elmo Steak House‘s Executive Chef Jeremy Holmes here with four tips for throwing a winning party:

  1. Prep what you can the night before. Clean + chop veggies, put the beers on ice, and make sure you have serve-ready dishware.
  2. Glazed meatballs or wings are always a hit. Show off your own chef skills and coat them in St. Elmo Root Beer Glaze or try Chef Jeremy’s Sweet & Spicy Wing recipe.
  3. Meat-free options are a must. Need some inspo? This Pretzel Ring Beer Cheese Dip will impress all guests.
  4. Have a game day toast ready. Celebrate Rihanna’s performance with a St. Elmo ready-to-pour Cosmopolitan or Espresso Martini.

Get party-ready.*
