If your Dad is anything like my Dad, he may as well be the spokesperson for red meat. When we're out to eat, he's already flipped his menu to the burger and steaks section before we've even had a chance to settle into the table. Why not give him a meal to drool over in the comfort of his own home? From Philly Cheese Steak Burgers to the Zesty Margarita Steak, you (and Dad) won't be disappointed with the selection of recipes below.

Brunch is one of those meals that just means "celebration" no matter the occasion. Great food and great people gathering together in the middle of the day amidst adult beverages AND dessert? Count us in! While we love breakfast food, what we love even more is being able to eat it well into the afternoon, and we're pretty sure Dad feels the same. So, let him sleep in this Father's Day, and get the bloody marys and mimosas ready in the meantime. When he wakes up to any of the glorious dishes below, he's sure to feel the love.
