EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- No matter if your team won or lost Sunday night, one thing is almost certain: If you watched the big game, you were enjoying some super food.
We visited some places that were churning out the food as fast as football fans could eat it.
It's one of the biggest days of the year for delivery and take-out. Super Bowl Sunday is the big show for football...and for party food.
"Oh, it's incredible" said Sid Ruckriegel, owner of the East Peoria Papa John's. "I mean, normal football Sundays are fantastic for us, the drivers love them because of the business volume as well as the people in side, But I mean, this is just...this is double the amount of excitement right there going out."
Delivery drivers aren't complaining about the tips,either.
Gregory Feagans, a Papa John's Delivery Driver, said, "I think people may be a little more generous because of the excitement of the day perhaps,"
The East Peoria Buffalo Wild Wings will move over 50,000 wings today alone.
"We sell thousands of wings today. I mean, today already we've probably done over a hundred to-go orders, ranging anywhere from six wings to 250, 300 wings in each order," said Marty McMorrow, assistant general manager of the chicken wing emporium.
While it's true that most Super Bowl parties will do the standard pizza, wings and burgers, at the Last Chance bar in Peoria, you can try some elk.
Serving exotic game is a tradition going back ten years here, every Super Bowl Sunday.
We've got elk, we've got fish, we've got chicken, we've got deer, deer chili, elk chili, barbecue several different ways; this is all donated by people, and everything's just given away; it's all free," said Terry Potter, who owns the Last Chance Bar.
So grab some wild boar, pull up some french fried frog's legs and enjoy the game.
