Conspicuous consumption is a natural part of the Super Bowl. So much so, most of us aren't even thinking about how to score a deal. So we thought of it for you. As part of Game City Showcase, Houstonia's team has curated a list of some of our favorite places in Midtown, the Theater District, EaDo and Museum Park, and asked each of those eateries to give you something for free.

Yes, free. Those samplings range from chicha morada, empanadas and ceviche at Andes Café to chicken bites at Dak & Bop. Restaurants are even open at special times just to serve you—Fluff Bake Bar is usually closed on Monday evenings.

So how do you have your cake and eat it, too? Just show a screen from your Gastronaut app at your restaurant of choice, then enjoy your sample. Don't have it yet? Download Gastronaut in the App Store or in Google Play now. Happy snacking!
