Our Favorite Super Bowl Munchies From Chicagoist And Beyond

By Erika Kubick in Food on Jan 31, 2014 8:00PM

For those of us who live to eat, the Super Bowl is so much more than football: it’s a day of celebration, where we stop hating advertisements and enjoy a musical performance around a bounty of resolution-ruining foods. This year, halftime will most likely act as a scarring reminder of why we didn’t realize that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are still together. So, we’re going to have to console ourselves with the real stars of the day; the snacks. Here’s a list of some of our favorite game day munchies that have our mouths watering.
