If your toughest challenge on June 16 is what to give the guy
who gave you life, consider this: Is your Dad a foodie with a beer fetish? Does
he dabble in adventurous cocktail construction? Are there more cookbooks in his
library than classics?
This Father Day’s, Luxe File Chicago is helping solve
the conundrum on what to give dad on the happiest day of his life.
When dad screams, we reach for the remote. When dad screams for ice
cream, we make a congo for the kitchen. Give the big guy a gift that will
appeal to his softer side: Cuisinart's Stainless-Steel Ice Cream Maker. Makes two quarts of your favorite dessert in 25 minutes. Now that’s a sweet
night in.
Last time we checked, the local liquor store was where dad headed to
satisfy a beer fix. Now, thanks to the evolution of craft beer-making which is
sweeping the country (from basements to the family garage), your yeast-loving
pater is embracing his inner brewologist and making his own 6-pack of suds. Do
dad right with a contraption that will bring him back into the light: enter the Beer Machine.
Don’t be fooled by its late night infomercial appeal, the
tabletop brewery kit makes your dad’s favorite lager faster than you can say
fermentation-conditioning-carbonation apparatus.
For the dad who enjoys turning up the heat in the kitchen or
over the grill, why not give him a culinary tomb for Father's Day that is
authored by a celebrity chef and daddy too. Beautifully written, Molto Batali by Chef Mario Batali
gives thanks with a culinary arsenal of easy-to-exquisite seasonal recipes that
will turn any family meal into a memorable feast.
When it comes to going big, your dad believes playing it safe
is for sissies (thankfully his idea to breed pygmy elephants as family pets
didn’t pan out). Hebert Candies’ 17” chocolate towers filled with over two
and a half pounds of sugary heaven will not only satiate his sweet tooth, but
will stave off any ill-conceived attempts to skydive off the Willis Tower. Or
at least until Father’s Day is over.
Are tasteless Bloody Marys putting the
“weak” in your weekend brunch? This Father’s Day, Stu's Kitchen is going Karate Kid on your banal Saturday morning cocktail and opening a jar
of whoop-ass with its homemade sour pickle juice and insanely addictive
garlic-soaked pickle spears. Dad’s taste buds won’t know what hit them.
