<h1>Super Bowl Party Playbook</h1>
<h3>Tackling the game-day festivities </h3>

<p class="intro">Super Bowl parties attract two types: the superfans who have waited all season for the biggest game of the year, and the social butterflies who attend for the company and the <a href="http://www.chow.com/stories/11467">commercials</a> but often know next to nothing about football.</p>

<div id="sidebar_content">
<span style="float:right; width:390px;"> 
<p style="margin-top:10px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" >What brings them together? Eating. Here&#8217;s a menu that&#8217;s dude food done right: It&#8217;s perfect for grazing (for the superfans, whose main focus will be on the TV), can be made ahead (so you can watch the game too), yet is attractive enough to be proud of (and to give the butterflies something to discuss). Bring out the snacks (beware the <a href="http://www.chow.com/stories/10863">double dippers</a>) at kickoff, the brats and beans during halftime, and the brownies toward the fourth quarter (they&#8217;ll help mollify the losing side). </p>
