Bowl Cut

Your Guide to Super Bowl Party Glory

Well, the ’Phins aren’t playing in the Super Bowl this year. So close, though. So. Close. Anyway. You still have the commercials to look forward to. Oh, and the glorious spread that comes with Super Bowl gluttony. Burgers, wings, octopus burritos—your game-day party planning starts... now.

FORGING AHEAD

The Tailgate Package at the Forge

The Play: A low-key viewing dinner party for four.
The Execution: A takeout package courtesy of the Forge that includes four entrées (pulled-pork sliders, filet mignon), four sides (lobster-truffle mac, caviar potato salad) and three desserts (like blackberry cobbler). You provide the booze. And the foam fingers.

WINGING IT

Super Bowl on the Go at Brother Jimmy’s

The Play: A backyard-style barbecue.
The Execution: All of the hallmarks of a proper barbecue from a joint owned by former ’Canes players. You’ll get 90 wings, three pounds of rib tips, 30 sliders, 64 ounces of potato salad/slaw, beans, 28 pieces of cornbread and a well-earned day off for your grill.

RAW DEAL

Stone Crabs and Tacos from My Ceviche

The Play: It’s Miami. Go fish.
The Execution: Dock-fresh seafood from My Ceviche. Think: octopus burritos, tuna tacos, stone crabs and chili-lime popcorn from a James Beard–nominated chef. Also: they’ll deliver it right to your door. You really shouldn’t leave your flat-screen unattended.

SAFE HAVEN

Watching the Game in a SoBe Lounge

The Play: Sitting in MetLife stadium. Without having to empty your 401(k).
The Execution: Surrounding yourself with 110 feet of wraparound LEDs at Haven. It’s like being right in the middle of the action, but with better food. That’s thanks to Chef Todd’s wings and burgers. Thanks, Chef Todd.

IN THE HOUSE

Beer Pong. $1 PBR. Football.

The Play: A Super Bowl party with diversions.
The Execution: Sure, the game will be on (see: 70-inch projection screen), but there’s also billiards, pinball and beer pong if you’re looking to practice some hand-eye coordination of your own. It’s never too early for training camp.
