With Super Bowl LVI kicking off on Sun., Feb. 13, it’s time to come up with a game plan. Whether you’re rooting for the Bengals or the Rams (or for the commercials to be entertaining), there are several ways to win with an epic meal + good time.
Before the sportsball gets started on NBC at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, be sure to preorder these local options — including a crawfish boil — that arguably outshine the halftime show.
🦐 Gameday Bundle + Crawfish Boil | Crawfish King, 725 S. Lane St.
The “gameday bundle” ($56) has fried catfish, Cajun-seasoned wings, fried shrimp + more — but it’s also hard to ignore the home boil kit. For $150, you’ll get a pound of crawfish, clams, shrimp, Dungeness crab, andouille sausage, and your choice of sauce + seasonings to toss in. Oh, and it comes with its own metal stock pot.

🎉 The Big Game Viewing Party | Nine Hats Wine, 3861 1st Ave. S.
If you want to get out of the house, the SODO tasting room seems like a chill place to watch the action. It offers a “Red Zone” meal for two ($80) that includes a large pizza from sister restaurant Nine Pies, half a dozen chicken wings, a bottle of wine or pitcher of beer, gourmet popcorn, and party favors. If you’re rolling four deep, the “Touchdown Package” ($125) has everything mentioned, just more of it.

🍗 Super Bowl Sunday Chicken Platters | The Chicken Supply, 7410 Greenwood Ave. N.
Greenwood’s new Filipino fried chicken restaurant looks to fill all your poultry needs, with platters of wings, drums, and the more traditional “meat on sticks.” You can also tack on a few sides like collard greens and monggo beans.
