el Salchichero<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a restaurant \u2013 but it\u2019s a great butcher shop and retail store if you are having people over for the Super Bowl and have some last-minute shopping to do (or if you just want to cook for yourself). It\u2019s open Sunday (and every Tues-Sun) from 10 a.m. \u2013 7 p.m. el Salchichero<\/a> recommends any or all of these items for Super Bowl treats: beer bacon, blood orange marinated chicken thighs, grass fed steaks, sausages for sandwiches or appetizers, cured meats for a charcuterie plate, Yucatan flat iron, and Mad Marge\u2019s meatballs. If you\u2019re in Live Oak and need last-minute Super Bowl meats, el Salchicero will be at the Live Oak Farmers Market from from 9 a.m. \u2013 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

Hula\u2019s Island Grill and Tiki Room<\/a> is offering $5 pupus all night on Super Bowl Sunday. Traditionally the $5 pupus are offered 4:30 \u2013 6 p.m. seven days a week. I went to Hula\u2019s the other night and can recommend these tasty pupus: Abalone Style Calamari (pan-fried calamari with lime-ginger-cream sauce and soy glaze), Sweet Potato Fries (addicting!), and Spicy Edamame.<\/p>\n
