Holy Super Bowl! Someone in the football universe obviously takes his deli platter damn seriously, as evidenced by this snap, a dazzling stadium display of cold cuts, crudites, chips and cheese squares.

Holy Super Bowl! Someone in the football universe obviously takes his deli platter damn seriously, as evidenced by this snap, a dazzling stadium display of cold cuts, crudites, chips and cheese squares.

Below are a few more visual examples we found online to keep your Super Bowl guests fat and happy. Have you made your own? Send us a photo. The meat continues on Page 2. The meat continues on Page 3.
