All eyes will be on the TV as fans gather for the biggest football showdown of the year, and the team at Strack & Van Til is ready to help every host score big. From the opening drive to the final seconds, the Meat & Seafood Department and the Deli are stacked with crowd‑pleasing favorites guaranteed to give you the home field advantage.

In the Meat & Seafood Department, the lineup is deep enough to satisfy even the hungriest fans. Seven varieties of bratwurst — from classic Regular and Cheddar Bacon to bold Jalapeño Cheese, 3 Floyds Bubblehead and Maple Pineapple — bring serious flavor to the table. Heat up the game with smokehouse seasoned hot wings and drums and deliver the perfect first-down snacks with potato skins, Italian stuffed mushrooms, meatballs, stuffed Jalapeño peppers and bacon‑wrapped asparagus.

“Try our pub burgers in Bacon Cheddar, Swiss Mushroom, Blue Cheese Bacon and Jalapeño varieties and build a winning burger bar,” suggests Meat & Seafood Department Director Gary Teachman. “Our Certified Angus Beef steaks, including Filet Mignon, New York Strip, Ribeye and Skirt Steak, offer a premium play, and for those craving ribs, both Baby Back and St. Louis styles are ready to cook for kickoff.”

Make hosting even easier with pre‑packaged favorites such as Italian Beef from Buona, Papa Charlie’s and Joey’s; Perdue Air Fryer Wings; Tyson, Perdue and Dutch Farms breaded chicken; Carando and Rosina’s meatballs; and Lombardi’s sausages. Seafood lovers can tackle cooked peeled and deveined shrimp, $10 shrimp trays, snow crab, king crab, crawfish for a boil and 4‑ounce cold‑water lobster tails. Add Vita smoked salmon and lox, Supreme Choice crab or Lobster Rangoon, Aqua Star breaded shrimp in assorted flavors, Dockside Classics premium crab cakes and Matlaw’s stuffed clams to complete the play.

Every armchair quarterback can build the perfect sandwich play in the Strack & Van Til Deli Department. Choose from ready‑made subs — Italian, turkey or ham — or craft your own with a full roster of hams, turkeys, salamis, beefs, cheeses and Beano’s sauces including submarine, horseradish or honey mustard. The Grab & Go Trio packs salami, pepperoni and provolone into one easy package.

“Don’t pass on the wings!” says Deli Department Director Kristin Snow. “Whether bone‑in breaded, plain, boneless tossed in Buffalo or BBQ or the spicy Wings of Fire, they’re always a winning call.”

Chicken tenders pair perfectly with dipping sauces, wraps or diced in your favorite salad. Take your meal into the end zone with potato wedges and macaroni and cheese.

Fans craving something different can build their own gyro sandwich with gyro meat off the cone, tzatziki, pita bread and a variety of feta cheeses. Try Our Own Deli sliders — ham, turkey, BBQ chicken, beef and cheddar — on King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls are heat-and-serve touchdowns. Complete the spread with potato salads including homestyle, mustard and premium or Caprese pasta salad with fresh mozzarella, creamy macaroni salad, sour cream and cheddar macaroni, creamy coleslaw or bow tie pasta salad with spinach, pine nuts and Parmesan cheese.

No watch party is complete without snacks, and Our Own tortilla chips are perfect with spinach, Buffalo chicken, taco layer or chili con queso dips, plus guacamole, salsas and hummus. Other crunchy favorites include Pita Krunch pita chips, pretzeled pita chips, crostini toast and New York bagel chips.

For a gourmet touch, build a charcuterie board with specialty meats and cheeses, cracker cuts, spreads, cheese curds, olives, jams, glazes and hot honey.
