Pigskins aren’t just for eating, don’t you know? Some athletes like to toss around the pigskins/footballs for a few months out of the year, and come February, two teams face off in something called the Super Bowl.
Here in Tucson, there are quite a few super options to celebrate the big game.
Certain spots are offering food and drink specials and then a few restaurants are offering take-home catering kits to feed a large crowd. No matter how you celebrate the Big Game, try keeping it local with the following opportunities.
Disclaimer: More than likely, there are plenty of other football-themed events and catering options happening around Tucson, so consider this just a handful to help get your search off on the right foot.

Matt Sterner
More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
