The Most Popular Game Day Food in Iowa May Not be What you Think
With only a few days left before the Patriots and Falcons face off, grocery store shelves are growing bare. Nachos, beer and pigs in a blanket fill our freezers and fridges nights before the big game. According to Delish, every state has a game day food that's consumed more than others. For Iowa, this food is.....not corn. It's crispy chicken!
"Crispy Chicken is never a fumble." - Judy Kim, Delish
