The Super Bowl is always a good excuse to hang out with friends, sip beer, and pile on the junk food, but it's extra-special this year, thanks to the 49ers' appearance and their quest to tie the Steelers for the most all-time Super Bowl wins (not to mention maintain a perfect 6-0 Super Bowl record). But while many see the game as an excuse to hit the bars, we're of the opinion that the Super Bowl, that laziest of American minor holidays, should be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home, with that expensive television you worked so hard to buy. (This strategy is also good for avoiding a reprise of October's Giants riots.) So we've rounded up 12 spots that are offering special Super Bowl takeout options. With plenty of mac and cheese, Cajun spices, and wings, wings, wings, this is definitely not a lineup for the health-conscious, but paired with a few six-packs of your favorite craft brew and some strategically placed Tums, it should make for a satisfying Sunday evening as you cheer the Niners to victory.
