Super Bowl Sunday has become a national holiday in this country—especially if your home team is participating in the event. And while many folks choose to head out to their favorite local sports bar or pub, others choose to revel in the thrill of victory or commiserate in the agony of defeat at home among friends. Either way, you're going to need to eat. And if cooking isn't in your game plan then fortunately for you there are many options in Seattle.
Eater has hand-picked a few options for those of you who want to focus on drinking blue and green Jell-o shots while leaving the cooking to others. After all, man cannot live on Cool Ranch Doritos alone right? Here are some of our top picks among the multitude of options:
Gorditos
Denizens of Greenwood have known about this Mexican eatery for years and for good reason—the food is good and the portions are big. Hell, who can find fault with a place that has photos on the wall of Burrito Grande's next to real live babies? You can get your fill of all the traditional Mexican fixings here without breaking the bank. Plus, there are a multitude of vegetarian and vegan options to boot.
Samurai Noodle
If Japanese food is your thing then look no further than Samurai Noodle sporting three locations in Capitol Hill, the I.D. and the U District. While their website is pretty minimalist you can find the full menu on Eat24Hours which sports dishes ranging from the classics like Gyoza and Shumai to a wide array of Ramen dishes including the infamous Tonkotsu from Hell—now that's Beast Mode inducing.
Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon
Who is Judy Fu and why is her dragon so snappy? Winner of multiple 'Best Chinese Food' awards, this Maple Leaf fixture has been serving customers for over 20 years. All the Chinese classes are on the menu including Clay Pots, Mu Shu's and Chow Mein. Delivery is their game so order up some General Tso's Chicken and Dragon's Delight to celebrate victory.

If you must have pizza and are looking for a hearty meal that will fill the bellies of your friends and family then head to Ballard's newest pizza entry Patxi's serving authentic Chicago-style deep dish pies.
