Happy Father's Day

I thought I would post this blog early for those looking for last minute gift ideas for Father's Day. Yes, it's this Sunday guys!

What says, "I love you, Dad" more than a JUICY steak? In ode to all of the hungry dads out there, this is for you...

I will be spending Sunday in the kitchen. As a gift to all the fathers in our family, My cousin Luchi (also a chef) and I are preparing an awesome 4 course meal! We are the only family members who are not yet fathers, so that means one thing: kitchen duty! However, we enjoy ourselves. There is nothing like cooking for family! Maybe next year (or lets say five years perhaps) I will be on the other side of the table.

If you don't have the time to cook on Sunday, here are some other food-related gift ideas especially for dad.

FOR THE RECENTLY DIVORCED

Alright this one is for someone with a sense of humor! Measuring up at 14.6" tall x 8" wide x 12" deep, this is a great conversation piece for the dad who has re-entered bachelorhood. The set comes with 5 stainless steel knives and the holders are magnetized to keep them in place. $99.99, www.perpetualkid.com

FOR THE EVERLASTING SWEET TOOTH

If the above steak video wasn't enough, check out these cupcakes. Ghiradelli chocolate. Johnny Walker Black Label. Cream vanilla frosting. A half-dozen can be delivered for just $20. Kick it up a notch and add a flask of JWB for $35. www.instylecupcakes.com

FOR THE ECO-DAD

Brown-bagging is out! These reusable sandwich and snack bags are waterproof nylon and feature a vintage print. Great for fishing trips, tailgating and when you don't want your co-workers "mistakingly" taking your gourmet sandwich out of the community fridge. $32 for a set of 4. www.etsy.com

FOR THE SCOTCH DRINKER

As a scotch drinker myself, this makes a great addition to an already thriving collection. This set of Dewer's Reserve scotch whiskeys includes a 12-year-old, 18-year-old and the ultra premium Signature, all presented in a leather-stitched case. The set of three 200ml bottles retail for $99.99, but are now available online at half the price for Father's Day. www.crownwineandspirits.com

Happy Father's Day!!!
