The most devastating blow on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7, won't necessarily come from a helmet-to-helmet hit, or the fact that the Bears are sitting this game out for the ninth-straight year. Instead it could come from party guests after they deliver a nasty critique of that miserable spread left out on that coffee table. Don't fret, party people, for Chicago's restaurants are more than adequately prepared for some football parties, offering several tantalizing takeout options. Don't fumble this opportunity and check out this list of 18 great Super Bowl takeout specials.
