And there's no substitute for good food when it comes to putting on a Super Sunday party. Chef Bobby Nahra from Lakeland Banquet and Event Centre visited the Fox2 News Studios Sudnay morning to showcase some of his new and favorite game day recipes. 

He started out with a unique spin on chicken and waffles with coconut French toast and coney cups. Watch the video above and follow these recipes.

7.       Dip (dunk) 1 slice of bread in the egg/milk mixture, turn over and repeat

8.       on a cookie Sheet dump Coconuts flakes and spread out evenly lay wet slices of French toast bread on the coconut flakes flip do both sides.

9.       Lay it on the griddle and continue with the same dip/dunk of bread until you fill your griddle with the amount of slices that will lay flat

10.   Let cook for a couple of minutes, check and if it is browned, flip over and let brown on the other side.

11.   Once it is fully cooked remove from griddle and keep warm while you cook all the rest of the coconut French Toast
