During the Super Bowl, Rock Bottom Bar & Grill in Windsor, Ont. offers specials inspired by the two teams competing. This year, in honour of the Atlanta Falcons, one of the features will be a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich.

The Super Bowl is this Sunday. Some people like it because they enjoy football. Others tune in because of the elaborate commercials.

Me?

I'm in it for the food. While, wings, burgers and nachos are staples of the Super Bowl, a bar in Sandwich Town goes above and beyond for the big game.
