PHILADELPHIA, PA (KYW/CNN) - Things are heating up between Philadelphia and Boston ahead of the 52nd Super Bowl.

One Philly business - Dottie's Donuts - is refusing to sell Boston cream doughnuts until after the big game.

Esplanade Park in Boston responded with a ban on beloved Philly fare, including cheesesteaks.

Quinton Johnson with Dottie's Donuts says what started as a joke has turned into a business boon.

"It was a joke. I mean, at first, everything starts as an idea. But, it just blew up, I guess. That's the power of the information age," Johnson said,

Dottie's Donuts even created some new treats just for the Super Bowl, including "Grease-Poll Pastries."
