As the Kansas City Chiefs sealed their second consecutive Super Bowl win in a thrilling overtime escapade, one lucky couple from San Antonio found themselves swept up in the glory of football’s biggest night, without spending a dime. Gabriel Valenzuela and his wife Teresa, after winning a sweepstakes through Gabriel's job, saw the spectacle live in Las Vegas alongside stars like Taylor Swift, and even snagged a photo with the coveted Lombardi trophy according to a report from KENS 5.
While the Valenzuelas reveled in the Super Bowl fiesta, back home in San Antonio locals dived into game day grub thanks to a slew of local eateries offering finger-licking deals and specials from Whataburger's WhataWings available via its app and in-store to Pluckers Wing Bar's promise of free wings for a year to anyone nailing the final score, these Alamo City hotspots kicked the game off with a full belly according to San Antonio Current.
The spirit of the game was felt throughout the city as Southerleigh Haute South packed a mean Takeout Game Day Feast that included a bucket of wings, biscuits, and chicken queso with chips, their patrons could up their home viewing with gallons of Hurricane or Southertea, while the Downtown spot Mi Vaquita adding to the intensity with a 50-foot LED video wall for its watch party, ensuring every pass, tackle, and touchdown was larger than life.
Other venues like Mahal's Kitchen offered a Filipino twist with a combo of barbecue skewers and lumpia Shanghai and the Hyatt Regency San Antonio Riverwalk brought the game to its Q Kitchen and Bar with multiple oversized TVs and a special menu that included a burger-and-beer combo, ensuring that whether fans were invested in the game or only there for the halftime show they kept their spirits high and stomachs full.
