We could all use a little dose of SF pride these days. So when the 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, February 2nd, we'll be ready to cheer on our home team (even if they did move all the way to Santa Clara).
Bay Area restaurants and bars are ready to celebrate proper, with all the souped-up Super Bowl fare and punch bowls you could want.
Or, if you're planning to host your own watch party at home, you can order pro bowl food from Souvla, which will be delivering its limited-time feta-brined and Souvla-sauced wings by the $13 dozen via Caviar; and from4505 Burgers & BBQ, which has a big offering of Game Day Rib Packs ($50), smoked wings, and four-packs of craft tall boys ($20) available to go at both their NoPa and Oakland locations (you can reserve your order in advance by emailing catering@4505meats.com).
So whether you're a die-hard Niners fan or just in it for the food (and the JLo plus Shakira halftime show), throw on your Garoppolo jersey and get ready to send good vibes all the way to Miami.
