This year, SuperPretzel will serve pretzel Cuban sandwiches inspired by celebrity chef Guy Fieri. His foray into food began at the age of 10, when he sold soft pretzels from a cart he built with his dad. Many years and culinary endeavors later, SuperPretzel is paying homage to Fieri’s original Awesome Pretzel with a replica vintage cart. In addition to these limited-edition SuperPretzel cubanos, expect free SuperPretzel soft pretzels and the chance to win SuperPretzel merch autographed by Guy Fieri.

Admission is free. Please Forgive Us Ray Finkle. Wynwood burger and beer spot, Kush, will host the pre-Super Bowl party Please Forgive Us Ray Finkle.

At 3:05 p.m. this Saturday, Kush will honor Finkle in hopes of reversing the curse the fictional character has laid upon Fins fans.
