Coverage for the game has already started, kick off for Superbowl XLIII is at 3pm PST/6pm EST, your buddy is still asleep on your couch from last night’s festivities, your girlfriend’s/wife’s only request is that you remember to record the Puppy Bowl, and you’re stuck trying to figure out what type of manfood to whip up for the game.
Well here’s a comprehensive list of everything you’ll need. Which beer? Which chips? Superbowl Sunday is about learning!
Beer: You need beer, you need a lot of beer. Last time you drank Coors Light that guy from work called you a sissy. Sissy or not, you’ve got that New Year’s resolution to maintain (how’s that going anyway?) Here’s a list of all the well known beers with the important details – alcohol content, calories, and carbs.

Buffalo Chicken Dip: Everyone remembers the first time they bit into a buffalo chicken wing. Well I don’t, but man buffalo anything is awesome. I usually go with Wishbone Chunky Blue Cheese as my dipping sauce of choice, but apparently there’s an actual buffalo chicken dip.
