It’s that glorious time of year again when Americans gather in front of the TV to rank new commercials, dissect a halftime show, and drink like they don’t have work in the morning. A few people watch a football game. Though it won’t be the big Super Bowl gathering like normal years, your structure for Sunday remains the same: eating way too much food and passing out on the couch by the third quarter. Here are some restaurants that will help you accomplish that.

Whatever your drunk cravings call for, Akasha in Culver City has it on their menu. That includes batched cocktails, tandoori chicken wings, brisket chili, taco salads, cheese boards, and three different kinds of desserts. We’re already asleep on the couch. Available for pickup only.
With several different menu options including mezze platters, burrata platters, whole chicken, and grill-at-home burgers, this Brentwood spot is catering to whatever level of pickiness exists in your household. Order by Thursday, February 4th. Pickup only.
Bianca is a casual bakery/restaurant at the Platform in Culver City. For the Super Bowl, they’re offering everything from KC-style baby back pork ribs (Go Chiefs?) to spicy crispy chicken sandwiches and cake shots (which we assume will go down smoother than the vodka version). Every menu item is sold separately and feeds two people. Pickup only.
This German-style pub on Western in Koreatown has a menu complete with a fantastic mix of German and Korean food, like military stew with kielbasa, pork schnitzel with katsu sauce, and fried rice with bratwurst and sauerkraut. If you’re looking for something a bit more interesting than room temperature burgers and queso, place your takeout and delivery order here.
The Caribbean spot in Santa Monica (with a second location in Northridge) has a solid menu full of coconut fried chicken, empanadas, croquettes, and their famous jerk chicken. You can get said chicken either as an enchilada, tostada, or as its own plate, but for game day, we recommend doing the wings. They also have a separate catering menu with even bigger portions. Pickup only.

The casual beachside restaurant in Playa Del Rey is doing a “Super Bowl Pack,” priced at $120 that feeds four people. The bundle comes with all kinds of heat-and-eat items like pickled habanero chicken wings, soft pretzels and mustard, assorted mini cookies, and something called a sourdough crab, spinach, and cheese dip bowl. We aren’t exactly sure what that means, but we do love all those words. Preorder by February 4th, pickup only.
The famous bakery now has a “Bake At Home” section of its menu, which means pastries are shipped frozen to your door and you can throw them in the oven whenever you want - a.k.a once the commercials stop being good. The menu includes cookies, croquetas, guava pastries, and their famous potato balls. Available for takeout and delivery.
From sausage platters and schnitzel to a giant pretzel with beer cheese, Red Lion Tavern has some of the best drinking snacks in town. And for that reason alone, you should be ordering takeout and delivery from here on Sunday.

They’re also throwing in a dozen sliders, because why not? The whole package will costs $99.99, which is a steal considering it feeds 10 people. Curbside pickup only.
You just remembered that an NFL game can sometimes last over three and a half hours, and now you’re rethinking your overall presence on Sunday.

For $30 per person, the package comes with pre-grated Gruyère and Emmental cheese and dunking vessels that include fingerling potatoes, vegetables, Bavarian pretzel bites, and baguettes. Available for pickup only.
Shappy’s, one of our favorite pop-ups of 2020, sells incredible Philly-style soft pretzels that are dense, chewy, and eerily similar to the ones you can normally only find within Philadelphia city limits. Even though the Eagles historically melted down this season (again), that shouldn’t stop you from ordering a few dozen of these doughy monsters for Sunday’s viewing party. Pickup available in Studio City and El Segundo.
The popular BBQ spot on W. 3rd St. in Beverly Grove is doing three different game-day packages that range from $90-$260, the most expensive of which feeds up to 20 people.

They’re also offering a la carte shrimp cocktail, ribs, and more. The preorder cutoff is Thursday, February 4th. Available for pickup only.
This Los Feliz dive bar isn’t doing any specific packages this Sunday, but if watching a football game isn’t complete without a pile of chicken wings, be sure to order from Ye Rustic Inn. You get to choose how you want your wings cooked (regular, crispy, and extra crispy), and you should definitely do extra crispy. From there, load up on as many different sauces as you can. Available for takeout and delivery.
