    Super Bowl XLVII is about the Baltimore Ravens facing off against the San Francisco 49ers. It's also about the Beyoncé halftime show, the $4 million per 30-second ads and the game day party. More specifically, the game day eats.

    Tasty snacks are a must at any at-home Super Bowl bash; you can't afford to fumble the fare in front of a rowdy crowd of football fans. Seek help with your menu from some local restaurants and bakeries instead. Here are 10 options sure to be a hit at your Super Bowl Sunday blowout.

    AMERICAS
    What's a football game without wings? The Big Game Special at Americas feeds 10 and includes a package of plantain chips, 12 empanadas and 36 angel wings all for $75.

For parties of 12 or more, punt and let Fuddruckers do the work. Fuddruckers can set up a buffet-style spread with burgers and/or salads, toppings and sides, and desserts and beverages.
