During the Super Bowl, big things happen. History is made. Heroes are born. Songs are “sung.” So we thought you might want a meal that actually measures up to the epic moment. Read on for five places to upgrade your game-day meal plan.
In honor of the host city, Shaw’s Crab House is doing a pregame brunch with a heavy slathering of New Orleans flavor. You’ll find jambalaya, blackened fish and red beans and rice, plus omelet and surf-and-turf stations, oysters and $6 Bloody Marys—which are the Gatorade squeeze bottles of a good brunch.
There’s no official party here. So here’s what you’re working with: two 50-inch TVs with the game on downstairs, and six more TVs and lounge chairs upstairs. The menu ranges from steaks and champagne to Kobe beef hot dogs and mini Chicago-style pizzas. So try to make do.
They could turn the Chicago River into one big seven-layer dip there’ll be so much of it served on Sunday. But good sushi, that’s rare. Add astonishing views and champagne, and you get Rebar. They’re even adding TVs so you can watch the game. It’s just not a Super Bowl party without TVs.
So you’re the stay-at-home-and-eat-takeout-burgers type. DMK is serving its version of takeout, dubbed the Big Box O’ DMK. You’ll get the raw-beef blend, fresh buns, mac and cheese, balsamic onions and aged cheddar. Sure, the beef needs to be cooked, but it’s not like you have to age the cheddar.
Super Sunday doesn’t need chicken wings. But you’re a traditionalist. So order takeout from Chicago q’s special Sunday menu and get your so-damn-good-you’ll-cry wings. Also, get your Kobe brisket, Kobe brisket baked beans and cheddar-bacon hush puppies. There’s something to be said for tradition.
