Restaurants Nationwide Prepare for Super Bowl Surge

As Super Bowl Sunday approaches, restaurants across the U.S. are bracing for a surge in customers, with many urging fans to place orders in advance to ensure timely service. In Birmingham, local eatery Eugene's Hot Chicken is extending hours and offering special catering options, while Amarillo's House Divided and Bubba's 33 are preparing for the influx by stocking up on popular items like wings and pizza. Nationally, nearly 1.5 billion chicken wings are expected to be consumed, reflecting the day's significance not just in sports but also in food culture. In Harrisonburg, restaurants are hosting potlucks and special events to engage patrons, while in Honolulu, local businesses recommend early takeout orders due to heightened demand. With consumer spending projected to surpass last year's $670 million on snack foods, restaurants are on high alert to meet the needs of football fans. This year’s Super Bowl is anticipated to be a record-breaking event for food service businesses.
