Cue the family, grill, and sun this Father’s Day. Bring on the most discerning foodies of the
group, it is about to get tasty on Sunday.
While the staples remain bourbon, beer, and BBQ, homemade accompaniments
add detail privy to the men being honored.
This year’s family barbecue will spread original condiments worthy of
bottling, as well as a big fat smile on Dad’s face.
Family is daily; honoring Dad comes once a year. Include the youngsters in preparing for a barbecue
to ease prep time for the cook while bringing joy and accomplishment from the
kid’s involvement in planning the day. Bring
kids to the store to choose napkins and various outdoor serving items in Dad’s
favorite colors, have them set the table and fill bowls up with favorite
snacks. If Dad has a favorite hobby or
team, try to incorporate in the serving.
Is he an avid golfer? Rally up golf tees (new, preferably) and use them
in place of toothpicks for serving various appetizers. (Also, check out the
golf ball gelato golf ball cake mentioned here.)

Marinate cubed pieces of salmon and/or shrimp in a simple combination of
bourbon and brown sugar. Chop assorted
veggies and allow the children to pre-assemble skewers. The seafood skewers can be done by an adult
prior to grilling. These little chef touches
will show Dad the amount of appreciation he is deserved.

Try
making pickles, the simple task will be worth the reward come Sunday when
guests are blown away with the fact they are eating homemade “He’s our bread
and butter” labeled pickles. Scour the
market for lesser known craft beers that have names or flavors that tie into
favorite vacations and memories. The
menu’s can vary, beer braised chicken, steaks, burgers, but each item served
will be more enjoyable with these accouterments in place to celebrate.
Famous Dad, David Beckham goes for gelato with his son. |
No party big or small, is complete without dessert. Serve gelato and sorbetto to cool off after
rounds of bocce ball, horse shoes, and dancing.
Not planning a large gathering? Make the full works BBQ above for dinner
then have the kids take Dad out for a scoop!
Adoration for Dad will be depicted through the amount of
effort and thought put into the family BBQ, all to honor their main man. Happy
Father’s Day, have some authentic fun!
