The Replacements

Alternative Super Bowl Delivery Options

The last time the Giants and Patriots played in the big one, you discovered it was possible to catch a football with your head. This time, you’ll discover it’s possible to reinvent Buffalo wings. Below, unexpected delivery alternatives for your Super Bowl party. Each pairs great with a Gatorade shower.

The Audible: Vic’s Bagel Chip Nachos
THE PLAY: THE NACHOS

The Audible: Vic’s Bagel Chip Nachos

This may come as a surprise, but liquefied cheese, pico de gallo and spicy guacamole make things taste good. Including (but not limited to): freshly toasted everything bagel chips. Vic’s is debuting such a combo on Sunday. Tostitos’s loss will be the world’s gain.

The Audible: Kraken Wings from Betel
THE PLAY: THE WINGS

The Audible: Kraken Wings from Betel

If this were a regular-season football game, run-of-the-mill hot wings would probably be fine. But it’s not. And so, your wings shall be tossed in rum and bourbon sauce. It’s Betel’s take on the drunken Thai chicken wing. Consider the blue cheese a chaser.

Order by Feb 4, Betel, 51 Grove St, 212-352-0460

The Audible: No. 7’s Six-Footers
THE PLAY: THE PARTY HERO

The Audible: No. 7’s Six-Footers

It’s not a party without a submarine sandwich the size of a point guard. So for Sunday, you’ll call on No. 7 to deliver a monstrous version of any hero off their regular menu (General Tso’s Tofu, Pork & Shrimp Sausage). Actually, make it two. One for the game. And one for the national anthem.

The Audible: Bacon Soft Pretzels
THE PLAY: THE SNACKS

The Audible: Bacon Soft Pretzels

The Germans had the right idea. Pretzels should be big, warm and served with several dipping sauces. However, even in all their infinite snacking wisdom, they still forgot one critical ingredient: bacon. Thankfully, Sigmund’s has the fix. Pork crisis averted.

The Audible: Purple Baked Potato Pie
THE PLAY: THE PIZZA

The Audible: Purple Baked Potato Pie

Some say the crust is the best part of a pizza. Well, those people have never had deconstructed potato skins on pizza. Yes, there’s now an outfit in Brooklyn that’ll pile the appetizer atop your Neapolitan pie. And they’ll deliver to Manhattan for game day. Because this is a gift that needs to be shared with multiple boroughs.

Order by Feb 4, Pete Zaaz, 766 Classon Ave, Brooklyn, 718-230-9229

The Audible: Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes
THE PLAY: THE DESSERT

The Audible: Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes

Things nobody cares about on Sunday: 1) The halftime show. 2) The dessert. Solution for fixing #1: Kenny G. Solution for fixing #2: eating Buffalo chicken. Yup, these carrot cupcakes are actually topped with chunks of citrus-tinged fried chicken. And frosting. You’re not a monster.
