The Super Bowl is right around the corner. I'm not a football fan, but I am definitely a fan of game day eats. If you are, too, you'll be happy to know that some of the best makers of classic game day foods--from burgers to wings, hot dogs to BBQ--now deliver via mail order.
Check out these 6 purveyors of the best Super Bowl party foods in the nation. No matter where you live, you can order up, sit back and enjoy the game. Or just the commercials, like me. -Stacie
My favorite mail-order option (above) is an amazing selection of pork put together by the genius food curators at Gilt Taste. The very generous folks there have put together a sale from Pig of the Month BBQ that includes pulled pork and fixings, ribs and more. The only drawback? The sale ends after this weekend. HURRY!
Oh, buffalo wings, how I love you so. Sadly, I've yet to find a mail-order source for organic, ethically raised buffalo chicken wings (your choice: laugh at me or thank me for the new business idea). The good news is that Duff's famous wings can be shipped to you straight from wing mecca Buffalo, NY. Commercial break trivia bonus: These babies helped Duff's win on an episode of the Travel Channel's Food Wars.
If there was ever a time to give healthier buffalo meat a try, the Super Bowl is it. I can't tell you why I think that, but I'm confident about it! Wild Idea Buffalo Co ships their grass-fed, antibiotic- and hormone-free, humanely raised buffalo nationwide. I'm thinking of giving the burgers or uncured, smoked Kielbasa a try, but it's hard to choose with so many options! Now, if they'd only make grass-fed, antibiotic- and hormone-free, humanely raised buffalo wings.
If you're looking for pastrami or any other deli food, look no further than Katz's Deli on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NY. This landmark is a personal favorite of mine--and pretty much a favorite of nearly every New Yorker. You don't have to live in the Big Apple to be a fan, though, since they deliver nationwide. Buy a la carte, or indulge in their Sunday Football Package for $89 (I'd say this serves 8-10).
In more of a Chicago state of mind? Head on over to Taste of Chicago for some hardcore football food favorites including Italian beef, deep dish pizzas and Vienna Beef hot franks. If, like me, perusing this site is dangerous business, you may want to head straight to the section specifically for football eats.
Last, but far from least, I've got an unexpected option that you should bet on: handmade New Zealand-style gourmet meat pies from Dub Pies. I'm a huge fan of Dub Pies and used to think I was soooo lucky that they were headquartered in NYC. Now you're lucky, too, because they ship overnight. On more than one occasion (many more), these pies have been the only non-homemade thing I've served at one of my parties. These delicious, hand-held pies may originate in New Zealand, but they are about as perfect an American football food as I can imagine.
