Game Day Grub: The Best Local Super Bowl Deals

It's time for the most American of traditions where hours of TV watching and unabashed fried food gluttony is celebrated. 

While the battle between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens is shaping up to be a great one, it's the food that really makes Super Bowl Sunday memorable. 

In our unending quest to make your lives just a little bit easier, we here at Patch pulled together a list of some local ideas for game time partying. If we missed one, let us know in the comments.
