Father’s Day the Chicago Way
Cafe Spiaggia
Doesn’t dad deserve the best? Dads (of all kinds) put up with a lot over the years, and it’s only right that at least once a year we treat them extra special. Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, and (in case you forgot) this is your perfect chance to show dad some serious love. We all know the best way to show love is through food! So, here are our favorite spots to show dad some food love…
Café Spiaggia {980 North Michigan Avenue #1, Chicago; 312.280.2750}: If you want to treat dad to something special this year, the Spiaggia Grill Kit is the way to go. Featuring a 36oz 45-Day Aged Porterhouse & Ramp Butter, plus local farm asparagus, potato salad, and cookies, it’s a true feast. Then, make it even more special with wine selections by James Beard-nominated sommelier, Rachael Lowe. You can order both on Tock!
M Burger
M Burger {multiple locations}: Available on Saturday and Sunday only, M Burger has grilling kits with four uncooked burger patties, cheddar cheese, Martin’s potato buns, kettle chips, and all of the fixings like bacon, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and M Sauce. Holy cow! You can even make it a double by adding on more patties! Just make sure to order by 6PM the night before to confirm your order.
Jake Melnick's Corner Tap {41 East Superior Street, Chicago; 312.266.0400}: Don’t want to cook? Jake Melnick's Corner Tap has BBQ Platters starting at only $18.95 with everything from baby back ribs and beef brisket, to pulled pork and local Makowski hot links. You can also a 32oz growler for the perfect Father's Day celebration!
Foxtrot {multiple locations}: If you can’t be with your dad this weekend, you can still show him your love! Send one of Foxtrot’s curated gift boxes that add a twist on age-old favorites, no matter what your dad’s taste. “The Coffee Dad” box comes with Metric coffee, Goodio Chocolates, and other treats while the “Dad the Bartender” box has Few Bourbon Whiskey, a Meehan's Bartender Manual, and everything else he needs to make a great drink. And those are just the beginning! Check their website to see them all.
Riccardo Osteria
Riccardo Osteria {1023 West Lake Street, Chicago; 312.291.8620}: What better place to bring the family, than to a restaurant based on that family gathering atmosphere? Riccardo Osteria comes from Chef Riccardo Michi, who has cultivated an atmosphere of love and family across his classic Italian restaurants. Their West Loop patio is open for intimate, sunshiney family meals of pasta and other comfort foods this Sunday.
Artango Steakhouse {4767 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago; 872.208.7441}: Sit back and relax while you dig into Argentinean steaks and classic cocktails from this Lincoln Square favorite. Their takeout and delivery menus make it easy to have a serious feast with no hard work on your part!
