NPR: Good thing, wings cost less and beer's flat: Super Bowl fans are expected to splurge

More than 100 million people in the United States are expected to watch the Super Bowl this weekend. Some will tune in for the football, others for the half-time show or the commercials, and some just to see Taylor Swift.

But there's one thing most people will do: Eat.

Some restaurants have been preparing for this moment for months.

"We would talk to our meat vendor over the summer and ask them to freeze pallets of wings or at least pre-purchase for us at a certain, agreed-up on price," says Marc Schechter, owner of Square Pie Guys pizza in San Francisco — home of the 49s who face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. "We were trying very early on to lock in a lower price."
