It's the Super Bowl — not the "sort-of-good bowl" or the "mediocre bowl," but THE game of the year — and your choice of food and beverage should be nothing short of super as well.
So, whether you're going out to watch Super Bowl LVIII or staying home to honor the occasion, do it with some seriously good food and drink that's worthy of the game.
Don't settle for stale chips and canned dip or burgers better suited as a hockey puck, or, heaven forbid, wings so pathetic they look like they came off a hummingbird.
Set your sights on "super" at these Palm Beach County hot spots that share your love of the game, and great snacks.
