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.

Complementary peanuts are a staple at Rock Bottom. Patrons are encouraged to discard the shells on the floor. Owner Nicole Sekela estimates she spends $20,000 on peanuts every year. (Jonathan Pinto/CBC)
According to Sekela, the 1921 building that houses Rock Bottom was originally a hardware store. Much of the wood inside dates back to this period. (Jonathan Pinto/CBC)
