AlwaysPartying: Superbowl Edition

Jeff Zalaznick — February 05, 2010

The spread.

Throwing a Superbowl party is something that must be done in style. Always Hungry style. The goal is to put together such an epic combination of food that your friends at the game wish they had stayed home. Normally this takes great meditation and planning, but if you stick with us, we will put it together for you. Follow these instructions and we guarantee that you will have the best Superbowl spread that any of your guests have ever seen.

Here is the move:

• New York’s best Buffalo Wings from Cercle Rouge
• Sloppy Joe Sandwiches from the Town Hall Deli
• A Bo Ssäm to-go from Momofuku Ssäm Bar
• And cook a Bacon Explosion just to ice the cake, and give the apartment that signature smell.

SEARCH: Where to Watch the Big Game

Clockwise from top: scene from the Saints’ victory over the Vikings, Acme’s Fried Shrimp Po’Boy, Kate’s Crazy Wings from Wogies, and Cabrito’s Danger Dog.

If you’re planning to throw a Superbowl party, we’ve already got you covered. But let’s say you want to pass on the hosting duties and obligatory clean-up hassle. Where’s the best place to go for tasty snacks, strong drinks and good company while watching the Saints take on the Colts in Superbowl XLIV?

We’ve made it simple for you. Just go to Always Hungry’s Very Advanced Search Engine, select “Guys’ Night Out” from the By Occasion field and “Flat Screens Included” from the By Features field, for a list of great game day options.

Naturally, a lot of restaurants are offering specials deals for the event. A few interesting ones:

• Delmonico’s is serving up Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Double-Fried French Fries and unlimited Stella Artois on the house from 5:30pm to 6:30pm.
• For something less traditional, Artisanal is doing a Monterrey Jack Fondue with Black Beans and Chipotle ($48.50/person).
• If you’re one of the many who have been not-so-patiently awaiting the opening of Fatty ‘Cue, both Fatty Crab locations will serve a preview menu (though only the Fatty uptown has TV’s).

AlwaysTraveling: Who Dat Nation

A scene from the Saints’ January 24th victory over the Vikings.

Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat? Who dat?

For the New Orleans Saints it has been a very long road to their first Superbowl, but finally, the people of NOLA have a football team that lives up to their wonderful food.

There is no question that New Orleans is one of the greatest, and possibly most unique food cities in the world, and we would like to make sure to celebrate that appropriately. Thus, what better way to show our Superbowl endorsement of the team than by bringing you coverage of some of the greatest meals that the Big Easy has to offer for the rest of this week. And besides, there is really not much food worth noting in Indianapolis.

First stop: Cochon.
