Whether you're rooting for the Patriots or the Giants, you'll want to eat well while you watch the Super Bowl on February 3rd. Here are some takeout picks that should get you through the big game.

Nage offers a to-go party pack ($225, feeds 10 hungry fans) of chef Kevin Reading’s favorite game-watching dishes, including a half roasted suckling pig with BBQ sauce and slaw, three styles of chicken wings, mini-burgers, venison chili, guacamole and chips; preorder by February 1st and pick up your order on the 3rd (202-448-8005).

The game-day fare at Food Matters will include its signature wings, homemade chili nachos, tangy chicken skewers and yet-to-be announced dishes inspired by Boston and New York; call ahead or simply stop by for takeout (703-461-3663).

With three strategically positioned sites around the Beltway, Rocklands's baby-back ribs, tangy wings and homey sides are easy pick-ups; but even so it's best to phone ahead (202-333-2558).

A couple of pizzas, antipasti and insalata mista orders from Pizzeria Paradiso would make a great combination for Super Bowl party; both pizzeria locations take walk-in and call-in orders and recommend two-to-three-hour lead time for six or more pies (202-223-1245 and 202-337-1245).

Join the line at Tutto Bene on Saturday or Sunday (10:30 AM-4:30 PM) for authentic Bolivian saltenas, a hearty, takeout treat ($2.50 each) similar to empanadas that's a weekend specialty of this South American-owned Ballston Italian (703-522-1005).
