New Orleans is the host city of this year's Super Bowl — and if you're throwing a party to celebrate the big game, you may want to incorporate some of the Big Easy's culinary flavors into your offerings.

Fox News Digital reached out to chefs in New Orleans for some dishes that are sure to score a touchdown at Super Bowl parties this year.

Whether you're rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles, adding these Creole seasonings, seafood dishes, spicy bites and more can send your party spread soaring and leave a mark on your guests.

Here are four dishes to consider.

This comforting favorite can feed a crowd of football fans. 

With shrimp, blue crabs, shucked oysters, chopped vegetables, seafood stock and more, this dish was created by Donald Link, a James Beard Award-winning chef with the New Orleans-based Link Restaurant Group — which includes Herbsaint, Cochon, Cochon Butcher, Calcasieu, Pêche, La Boulangerie and Giannacan. 

"Growing up in southwest Louisiana, there was always a pot of gumbo simmering on Super Bowl Sunday," Link told Fox News Digital.

The gumbo can be prepared while you're watching the pregame coverage. 

Then, once the guests arrive — serve it up and catch their winning reactions.

Relying on sweet, sautéed onions and a rich sour cream-mascarpone base, this party dip is delicious and can be served with potato chips or spicy cheddar crackers, Link said. 

This dip comes together by combining ingredients such as onions, mascarpone, mayonnaise, sour cream and a spice blend found in most pantries.

"I grew up with an extremely large extended family, so you could always expect to see rooms covered in deviled eggs, boudin, chips and onion dip around the room and, of course, a lot of bowls of gumbo, especially after our annual football game with my uncles," Link recalled.

It's a tradition he's carried on for 37 years, he said.

"One year, I actually gave up Super Bowl tickets because I couldn't stand the idea of not making my gumbo and canceling the annual party."

Ryan Pearson, executive chef at Couvant inside The Eliza Jane hotel in New Orleans, told Fox News Digital that chicken wings with a Big Easy spin can be a party favorite.

"Chicken wings with a sauce made from reduced Crystal Hot Sauce, honey and butter are, simply put, delicious," Pearson said. 

"The dish is using beloved southern ingredients, so it feels elevated without being too much work." 

The southern twist uses Crystal Hot Sauce, which has been a New Orleans staple since 1923.

"My mom used to say, 'Add Tabasco for heat. Add Crystal for flavor,'" the New Orleans chef said.

A change of play on a burger creates a cool party dish that pays tribute to the culinary fame of New Orleans. 

Mark Bucher, a "Taste of the NFL" chef, restaurateur and owner of Medium Rare in New Orleans, uses Andouille sausage to elevate this festive dish, he said. 

Some cocoa powder, cinnamon and hot picks like chili powder and cloves create a stirring flavor combination, said Bucher. 

The burger sauce can be blended from a few pantry condiments on hand — but the final play is adding Frito's on top for the crunch, he added.

"Chili is a tailgate classic but adding it to a burger turns up the flavor while keeping it fun and accessible," Bucher told Fox News Digital. 

"With the savory heat from the Andouille sausage and the tangy punch from the vinegar and spices, these burgers are built to hold up against a day of game-watching. It's that perfect mix of hearty, satisfying comfort and big flavor that makes it the ideal dish for a Super Bowl party."

The burger sauce also adds a bit of tang and crunch to balance the richness of the chili, he said.

Super Bowl Sunday is often one of the busiest days of the year when it comes to at-home parties.

Whether you're cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles — or if you're just there for the commercials — Super Bowl parties are a great place to eat, drink and socialize.

Fox News Digital asked two event experts what their playbook looks like for throwing an epic Super Bowl party this year.

Make sure your menu accounts for every type of eater, said Los Angeles-based food expert and event planner Christine Lusita.

"Healthy options, gluten-free, vegan — and of course traditional indulgence," Lusita told Fox News Digital. 

"This sets the tone," Lusita said, and "is especially helpful for those who do have dietary restrictions."

Options that offer popular appeal are a win. 

"Go for a wide range of appetizers, both hot and cold, in addition to the basic chips and dips that we all love," Lusita said. 

"Include veggies and fruit options, as well as main dishes like sandwich boards or hot-food classics like pasta or pizza."

The food should be not only delicious but easy to grab and low stress for hosts and guests alike, Olivia Pollock, Evite's party and hosting expert in Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital. 

"Think sliders, wings, nachos and dips that people can snack on during every quarter of the game," Pollock said. 

"For something like the Super Bowl, I suggest setting everything out and letting guests munch away during the game."

A buffet "works best," allowing guests to relax, eat at their leisure and enjoy the game, Lusita said.

Pollock also agreed with planning for guests' dietary restrictions. 

In the final quarter, keep your dessert offerings easy. 

"I love to pop in some small dessert options at a party as well," said Lusita. "Easy grab-and-go cookies, brownie bites or ice cream bars are typically a huge hit."

Decorate your party space to excite the team. 

"Set the mood of your party with fun, colorful decor, comfy seating and upbeat music, so when they arrive, it brings the energy up right from the start," Lusita told Fox News Digital.

"Hosting the big game-day party seamlessly is creating a good vibe and giving your guests choices which makes them feel a part of the party."

Plus, providing an environment where people can just kick back and relax without having to worry about what they can or can't eat keeps them coming back year after year, she said.

As the host, you want to enjoy the game as well, so allowing guests to mix their own drinks is a winning play.

A do-it-yourself drink bar "is a hit at any gathering, but especially for the Super Bowl," Pollock told Fox News Digital. 

She suggested setting up a station for guests to create their own cocktails and mocktails throughout the game. 

"For some extra fun, make a pre-batched mocktail themed for each team and see whose drink goes quicker," Pollock said. "Plus, guests can always turn their mocktails into cocktails by setting out liquor to add."

Be sure to set out a cooler filled with canned drinks, water and children's options, she said.

"It's interactive, keeps things flowing and means you don't have to worry about constantly serving everyone," Pollock said. "Plus, it's a great way to keep the energy up all game long."

Before Super Bowl Sunday arrives, consider a sign-up sheet and have your guests contribute to your party spread. 

"Guests will most likely show up with something, so a sign-up sheet is a great way to let guests choose what they want to bring and a surefire way to make sure that there's not multiple pots of chili and no dessert," Pollock told Fox News Digital. 

"It also helps take the pressure off you so you can focus on enjoying the game, too."

Not all chicken yolks look the same. Some are pale yellow — while some are so orange they're nearly red. 

But what does it mean? Are egg yolks like lettuce, where a darker color indicates more nutrients?

Fox News Digital spoke to an egg expert to crack the case. 

WANT TO KEEP RAW EGGS FRESH LONGER? FOOD SCIENTISTS SAY THEY'VE FOUND A WAY

The color of a chicken yolk, cookbook author and backyard chicken expert Lisa Steele told Fox News Digital, "is completely dependent on the hen's diet." 

Steele, who lives in Maine, is the creator of Fresh Eggs Daily, a website about raising chickens. She is also the author of "The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook." 

"Foods that are high in xanthophyll and carotene, which are basically pigments called carotenoids, will make nice dark orange egg yolks," she said. 

Carotene is found in orange-colored foods, she said, such as carrots, mangoes, cantaloupe and pumpkins. 

Xanthophyll can be found in leafy green vegetables, like spinach and kale. 

IS A CRACKED EGG EVER SAFE TO EAT? WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

But while a darker egg yolk does not mean a chicken is eating a nutritious, organic or fresh diet, "it likely will correlate, since the foods with the pigment are also packed with other nutrients," she said. 

Even so, feed companies and commercial egg farms have discovered workarounds to create a darker egg yolk without these nutrient-dense foods, Steele said. 

These companies "have gotten smart and realized that consumers want to see that bright orange yolk, so they'll add things like marigold, paprika, sea kelp, corn [and] alfalfa to 'artificially' boost the yolk color," she said. 

To ensure the most nutritious eggs possible, Steele suggests customers look for certain labels on cartons at the grocery store.

Chickens that are "pasture-raised" or "free range" will typically lay eggs with a darker, more orange-colored yolk, Steele said, "because their diet consists mainly of grasses, weeds and other plants."

It is important to note that "cage-free" and "pasture-raised" are not the same thing, she said.

Pasture-raised eggs are the "gold standard," Steele told Fox News Digital, noting that some "cage-free" chickens may still be living out their lives in a warehouse.

The eggs from pasture-raised chickens have less cholesterol and more nutrients, Steele said, because of their healthier, more varied diets. 

Yolks are not the only thing that come in different colors.

The shells vary as well. 

Unlike yolks, the color of a shell has nothing to do with the nutritional value of the egg, said Steele.

The color is "purely based on the breed of chicken," Steele said. 

"Some hens have brown dye, while others have blue and some have none." 

And that's no yolk.
