Gearing up for Sunday's big game? We're always happy to have an excuse to gather with friends for a day-long session of eating and drinking, and with the keg already ordered and the Bloody Mary bar mapped out, we're ready to focus on the food. What's on our Super Bowl menu? From beer-spiked pretzels to porter-braised pork, here's what we'll be making.
