Sunday’s Super Bowl LV, which will see the Kansas City Chiefs meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will look a little different this year. Social distancing requirements mean no large watch parties, but if you’re reading this section, we’re assuming you’re already in agreement about the best part of the annual game: the food. (And you can still eat so much food.) Read on for specials from around the city, including drink and party snack packages, so many chicken wings, and baked goods shaped like footballs.
ALL-PURPOSE
Want to go Italian for your snacking? All-Purpose is offering a special “Super Bowl Italiano” menu on Sunday: Sicilian-style or Calabrian-style chicken wing platters, Stromboli, meatball hoagies, and massive Italian or chicken parmesan sandwiches that serve 3-4.
