NATICK, MA — The NFL’s biggest game of the year is this Sunday. Though some have chosen to focus on superstar travel plans, odd prop bets and other facets of the weekend, here at Patch we’re locked in on what’s important: Food and drink.
There’s just one problem, and it’s that we aren’t experts. So we’ve gone the college football route and recruited people who know much better than we do what makes a good Super Bowl party snack, main course and even what you should plan to drink.
Patch reached out to some of the best sports bars, breweries and others in the industry to collect some intel on what the area’s best and brightest culinary minds are planning for their festivities.
