It's Super Bowl week. Very soon, it will be Super Bowl Sunday and I bet plenty of people will be scrambling on Sunday afternoon to throw together last-minute Super Bowl parties.
And therefore, there will be a rush on the grocery stores in town at about 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon for Super Bowl party fare. It will be crowded and unpleasant, but it will be Super Bowl Sunday, so everyone will be in kind of a festive mood, so there won't be any fights.
But you don't have to follow that path, friends. I'm going to make a suggestion right now that could revolutionize your Super Bowl party.
Think ahead. Swing by Tony DeMaria's sometime between now and 1 p.m. on Saturday — the sooner the better for you as they'll run out of meat eventually — to pick up both your Super Bowl party meat and sides.
No doubt, many of us place DeMaria's at the top of the list when it comes to local barbecue. It's a superb lunch spot, a great place to sit down at a bench with friends and chow down on brisket, ribs, sausage, potato salad, beans and all that barbecue implies. But there are two other sides of DeMaria's worth considering.
For one, Tony DeMaria's caters. The next time you're holding a big party, luncheon, campaign fundraiser, press conference or, well, anything where you want to feed a bunch of people, you should think of Tony DeMaria's.
Notice, if you will, they're featured in our brand-new catering category.
But let's say, you're having a gathering that doesn't require full-on catering. Like, say, a Super Bowl party. Tony DeMaria's sells meat by the pound and sides by the pint.
I'll be making, or more accurately assisting in the making of chili at my Super Bowl watching site. Wouldn't DeMaria's sausage taste good in chili?
Or if you want to serve nachos at your Super Bowl party. Brisket on the nachos? Right? See what I'm getting at.
Or you could just serve barbecue sandwiches. Whatever.
Grab some DeMaria's potato salad or chips or pie or all of these things to go with and, bingo, Super Bowl eats sorted.
