Big Game EATS!



Get your Game Day Treats from the Wheatsville Deli!

Austin knows football, and even when it’s not our local faves in the Big Game, we still party like it is! In fact, that means there’s possibly even less time spent shouting in front of the screen and more time savoring all the tasty treats at your Super Bowl Party! This year’s Super Bowl also marks the first anniversary of our Buffalo Popcorn Tofu! We rolled out this spicy, crunchy treat for last year’s game and it has been a huge hit all year long. It’s especially delicious dunked in our vegan Blue Cheez sauce! We’ll have large containers of both our classic Popcorn Tofu and the Buffalo PCT along with the Blue Cheez and Cashew-Tamari dressings available for game day.

In addition, we’re featuring our Hot Wings Hot Bar on Sunday with our tasty, crispy Buffalo Hot Wings and BBQ Wings, with our classic Ranch Dressing – we’ll even have large bags on hand if you’d like to stock up on hot, ready-to-go wings to bring to your shindig! We’ll also be featuring our delicious Tempeh Chili and, for the carnivores, smoky Black Bean Turkey Chili on our hot soup bar all weekend! We’ll have tons of other yummy stuff in our full-serve deli case, like Lil’ Cheddar Meatloaf Muffins, Oven-Roasted Hot Wings, Bacon BBQ Brisket (also great as a sandwich!), Sausage Feta Pies, Baked Potato Salad, Bucky’s Baked Beans, and Meme’s Coleslaw. Check out our self-serve cooler for a wide array of game day snacks, including Cheeseballs, Vegan Queso, Spinach Feta Dip, Walnut Pecan Pate, and tons of salsas for endless chip dippin’! We will also feature Fruit and Veggie Platters as a healthy, colorful addition to your spread.

Of course, no party is complete without dessert, so our bakery is getting into the game day spirit as well! We will be making football-shaped Sugar Cookies for sale individually in the bakery case and in multi-packs on our bakery table in front of the deli counter. We will also decorate our Cupcake 2-packs with sparkly team-colored sprinkles so you can show your Ravens or Niners pride (or buy em both to make a cute centerpiece for your game-day table!).

If you’re really planning big, think about taking advantage of the convenience of our Catering Trays! From Popcorn Tofu to Middle Eastern spreads to a selection of Sliced Meats and Cheeses to Sweet Dessert Bars, we’ve got the perfect tray for every occasion – and now our Sushi department is making gorgeous and affordable trays of vegan and fishy Sushi rolls and wraps, too! Sushi-bowl! Check out our online menu at http://www.wheatsville.coop/catering.html and call the Deli at 512-478-1164 to place your order. Just let us know what you’re looking for and we will do our best to make your Super Bowl party dreams a delicious reality!

Local Austin company Daily Greens bottles freshly-pressed raw green juice made from locally sourced kale, cucumber, celery, pineapple, cilantro, jalapeno, and Pink Himalayan Sea Salt. Why pressed juice? Pressing vegetables preserves the nutrients while standard juicing heats and oxidizes the nutrients. Daily Greens uses a Norwalk Press for all of its produce; this yields a nutrient-rich green juice that is 5 times more nutritionally dense than what the next best commercial juicer can extract. Green juices in particular pack the greatest nutritional punch-- each Daily Greens 16oz bottle is the equivalent of 8 servings of vegetables and requires 6 pounds of fresh veggies to produce!16oz, Reg. $7.99
