Idiot-Proof Super Bowl Snacking

This Super Sunday, be the bigdicked hero without even trying: We talked to Los Dados' head honchette and a Mermaid Inn-keeper to bring you can't-fail snacks guaranteed to satisfy all your friends, and that guy who must have just wandered in off the street. No recipe takes more than 30-minutes, or requires more than a few ingredients from your local Gristedes. To wash it down, mix up a batch of Dave Wondrich's Meadowlands -- strong enough for a man, pH-balanced for Joe Buck.

The Meadowlands
Dave Wondrich is a nationally-acclaimed intoxicologist and author of the alcohol tome Imbibe!
Dave's Giants-inspired version of the classic Manhattan. Instead of you taking the bus to the Meadowlands, this drink'll take the bus to you.

Tequila Shrimp Chipotle Tacos
Sue Torres is the executive chef of Los Dados
These spicy, be-boozed tacos are similar to David Alan Grier in two ways: they have three names, and taste great.

Buttery Wine Mussels
Laurence Edelman is the executive chef of The Mermaid Inn
Avoid clam chowder's Boston vs New York regionalism with a more conciliatory mollusk; like Neville Chamberlain, history will celebrate them as spineless appeasers.
