This Sunday, you’ll need an epic spread. A protein-rich smorgasbord worthy of your drive-in-sized TV and the team of cheerleaders you hired. Frankly, it seemed like a better idea than flying to Indianapolis in February. Here are a few picks, no matter who you’re rooting for...
You tried crab cakes for the Patriots’ last Super Bowl. And we saw how that turned out. Go more authentic this time, with boxes of lobster and shrimp rolls. We hear Belichick likes a fish sandwich now and then.
We know... you’d rather be in Queens this weekend. But here’s the next best thing: big platters of corned beef, pastrami and roast beef sandwiches, with plenty of pickles and mustard. Yes, the place is actually called Eli’s.
After 20 years of futility, you’ve nearly given up supporting the local guy. Except the local guy who just started selling homemade half-smokes. This new sausage supplier is grilling at DC Brau on Saturday and selling take-home packs for your halftime fire-pit escapades. It’s a big upgrade over Madonna.
Wide left. The very phrase haunts you. Salve your still-fresh wounds with a murderers’ row of pies from H Street’s Baltimore import. Dessert pies like chocolate chess and apple crumb are a given, but they’ve also got pork BBQ and steak chili. It’s what Ray Lewis would have wanted.
You’re not much interested in the outcome. You’d prefer a close game, a few good commercials... and some clever applications of bacon. Enter Red Apron Butchery, which is answering the call with bacon roasted nuts, bacon sauerkraut and pork rinds. Also: hot dogs.
