You think football, and it's not just about the game, but also the snacks! And this year, Arizona is bringing its "A" game to Super Bowl LVII, serving up a taste you can eat or you can sip. 

These NFL games last about three hours and you are bound to get hungry, so Scripps News got the low down on all the food you can get at the State Farm Stadium. There's also crafted drinks, like the Arizona Sunset Margarita and the Desert Heat with Tajin around the rim.

Scripps News also spoke with the chefs, like Lola Olivares.

"We have our carne asada tacos," she said. "Our carne asada is known because my grandfather was from Mexico. He taught me how to marinade it."

There are recipes handed down generations and with a destination.
