This time last year Houston was all ramped up and ready for the big game. Just being in the same state as the game of all games was electric for Texas. This year the big battle of the pigskins is in Minneapolis, Minnesota February 4th at 6:30pm. So unless you are planning to visit the 22nd most populous state in the country… you need to start thinking of the best seat you can get for super duper Sunday.
No better place to party for this football frenzy than your own patio! After all, you’ll have the best seat in the house, comfortable seating, great food at your fingertips and you’ll always be close to a bathroom. Many people have outdoor patios built just so they can either watch football outside or so they can entertain at a moment’s notice! In fact, some of our customers called us back in August of 2017 and said, “Hey, Texas Custom Patios, we would like to have this ready by Super Bowl Sunday, is that possible.?” So we got to building and guess what, the covered patios, outdoor kitchens and living rooms were built and those watching parties are sure to be a touchdown now! So go ahead, invite over your football-loving friends, fire up the grill and get ready to party.
Real Simple came up with your must-have checklist for your Super Bowl LII party … don’t miss a pass, make sure your party is a hit!
You can make your list and check it twice, but at the end of the day … there are three categories of “Super Sunday Party-Goers” and we have something for each one.
The anticipation of sweet and savory delights to enjoy during the big game brings this fan to the table… literally, and probably more than once! For the Snack Specialist, we offer this list of Super Sunday party dishes that can be prepared outside.

This month we are taking the tried-and-true “burger” and giving it some kick! This will be your new go-to recipe for your football watching weekends!
1½ pounds ground beef
1/2 tbsp. Kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper (or more/less to taste)
Hot Pepper Jelly
Guacamole
Bacon
Rolls
Greens (lettuce, spinach, etc.)
In a bowl, toss meat with seasoning. Form into patties and place on a large plate or baking sheet (about 7-8 patties). Cover and chill 2 hours or overnight. Allow burgers to come to almost room temperature before grilling. Season all sides of the burgers with additional salt and pepper. Clean, oil and heat grill. Once hot, place burgers onto the grill and cook until done to your liking. Once you flip the burger, baste the cooked side with some of the hot pepper jelly, when you remove the burgers, baste the other side. Assemble burgers with guacamole and bacon. Add an additional dollop of jelly on top of the burger and top with the other half of the bun. Smush it down a bit and dig in!

He was very polished and professional and as issues surfaced during the project he was quick to deliver a solid solution. Well worth the investment. We are very pleased with the outcome of this patio and are happy to be a reference to anyone with questions.
We will get back to soon!
