Super Bowl party spreads don’t have to consist of sports-bar-quality snack food, bad delivery pizza, or overly fancy dishes that you spend the whole weekend cooking. Here’s why: Restaurants like Il Buco Alimentari, Martha, and Talde are offering excellent Super Bowl takeout specials full of delicious things like porchetta by the pound, ginger-glazed Berkshire pork ribs, and Korean-fried-chicken wings. We’ve rounded up the best of the bunch, and organized the list by ordering deadlines. Move quickly if you don’t want to get stuck eating C+ chips and dip.
