Americans Plan To Spend More Than $10.7 Billion On Food For Super Bowl Sunday
The Super Bowl isn't just for football. Eating during the Sunday showdown has become its own national pastime, but the pandemic is taking a bite out of the usual gatherings for the game.
The National Retail Federation said only 28% of people plan to go to a party or a bar for the game, a record low in the survey's history.
Some 186 million Americans will still be watching. Whether it's alone or in smaller groups, they plan to spend more than $10.7 billion on food and beverages.
Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, is seeing some of that money. The restaurant is famous for inventing the Buffalo chicken wing. While indoor dining business is down, shipping orders are soaring.
