THE STEAK CONTINGENTWolfgang's
When you can get Luger's-style quarter-inch-thick bacon and a porterhouse big enough for four brought to
you, well, you do it. Just make sure you have your own knives—plastic just won't cut it.
The Second HelpingBen and Jack's
If Wolfgang's is a bit too...downtown, hit up the good sirs at Ben and Jack's for the same meat, creamed
spinach and (German) potatoes uptown. Meat knows no boundaries...
THE OLD WORLD ITALIANMorandi
It just so happens that the Sunday special at Morandi is Lasagna. We couldn't think of a more
appropriate Italian tribute to the eating traditions of the Big Game. Except maybe the Sicilian-style
meatballs with pine nuts and raisins.
THE NEW WORLD LES-erSchiller's
You won't be able to get the signature cocktails, but the Chicken Paillard and crowd favorites like
the Schiller's Nachos and the Chopped Liver Mousse should gloss over your attempts at
mixology.
The Small PlateLandmarc Tribeca and Time Warner Center
The wine list and massive menu get chopped a little for delivery, but the best appetizers come through in
all their glory, like the Roasted Marrow Bones and Warm Goat Cheese Profiteroles.
AN EMORMOUS PORK BUTTSsam Bar
For the special day in question, the good folks at Ssam Bar will break out of their no-delivery policy to
bring you their crown jewel, the legendary Bo Ssam: whole roasted pork butt with bibb lettuce, rice, kimchi
and sauces. Warning: these are so distractingly good, eating may cause you to miss critical plays.
