Kowalski’s Deli Preps for Super Bowl

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Kowalski’s Markets here is seizing Super Bowl Sunday as an opportunity to score points for its signature deli products.

In its January newsletter, the nine-unit independent emphasizes that it’s not too early to be thinking about Super Bowl Sunday and what to serve guests. Then, a description of deli-made appetizers and easy-to-serve-and-eat items follows.

Included are rotisserie chicken wings — in nine different flavors, including General Tso, Buffalo and raspberry chipotle — along with pizza, hot dips, cheese spreads and soups. All are touted as popular things to serve during the big game and at half time.

Kowalski’s fresh, chilled soup, offered packaged in 22-ounce containers, was suggested as an accompaniment to sandwiches at half time. A couple of soup varieties — asparagus white cheddar and chicken pot pie — stood out as unique, but favorites like beef vegetable barley and chicken noodle were there, too.

Hot dips are popular, Kowalski’s points out, and lists three flavors of its own bakable dips: jalapeno, artichoke and Buffalo chicken. Kowalski’s own Kaiser rolls also had a place in the line-up.

Naturally, this month’s newsletter was the place, too, to mention Kowalski’s catering menu and the fact that orders can be delivered just in time for kick-off.
