Super Bowl XLVIII is upon us and the Denver Broncos are battling the Seattle Seahawks for the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the overcast skies of the Meadowlands in New Jersey on February 2. There are plenty of bars and restaurants around town showing the game, though some are simply providing take-home specials. Of course, there's the must-see commercials and half-time performance for those less interested in the game itself. Note that some places recommend reservations and others aren't showing the game at all — just providing dishes to take home. For a listing of some of the better places to watch sports in general, check this map. Here now, Eater runs through this year's Super Bowl Specials in Los Angeles.
