What to Eat and Drink for the Game

Pats-Giants. Brady-Manning. Super Bowl commercials vs. your DVR’s fast-forward button. This Sunday, it’s all happening. And to help ensure your party is Lombardi Trophy–worthy—or that you extend your Brady-esque career of Most Valuable Guest trophies—we found the six best takeout and delivery options in the Big D.

ON TAP

Keg Delivery from Parkit Market

The what: An ice-cold keg of anything from Shiner to Boulevard Wheat, delivered to your door with ice, a tub and a tap.
The why: You’ll have 500 options. Plus, they’ll toss in Solo cups and ping-pong balls.
The who: Anyone who appreciates the phrase “keg menu.”

SKINNY DIP

Manny’s Uptown Platter

The what: A Tex-Mex fiesta: brisket nachos, chicken nachos, quesadilas, flautitas, guacamole and queso.
The why: Manny’s: basically the Vince Lombardi of Texas taco slingers.
The who: Anyone who dips a chip the way Gronkowski spikes a ball: with authority.

UP IN SMOKE

Barbecue from Lockhart Smokehouse

The what: Brisket sliders, smoked brisket queso, smoked prime rib and Adobo Style Pork Spare Ribs. That’s right: brisket queso.
The why: You don’t want your Super Bowl XLVI barbecue bib to go to waste.
The who: The aspiring NFL lineman.

SHOOT FIRST

Lobster Shooters from Abacus

The what: Bite-size lobster dumplings, which you’ll drop into ceramic sake cups filled with a curry coconut cream broth.
The why: The three keys to having a championship-quality party: beer, a big TV, lobster.
The who: The expatriate New Englander.

CHIP SHOT

Chocolate Potato Chips

The what: Pretty much what it sounds like: crispy chips dipped in chocolate.
The why: Chips and dip: a predictable play call. Chips dipped in chocolate: an audible only you and Brady could pull off.
The who: Anyone who doesn’t know Eli Manning from Taryn Manning.

TRUCKIN’

The City Street Grille Food Truck

The what: Steak tacos. Chicken and waffles. All served to you from a truck parked outside your place.
The why: Because a little thing like a televised football game shouldn’t keep you from enjoying the great outdoors.
The who: Cundiff. Hey, the guy could use a pick-me-up.
