Avid-cook dads envision the ideal Father’s Day

What do these foodie fathers have planned for the one day a year that’s devoted to them?

For Rick Winter, it will be a combination of a fun activity and a simple meal.

“The ideal Father’s Day would involve getting together with both kids to hit tennis balls or go for a bike ride and have a picnic lunch. Jackie and I would pack it together; we could make a salad and grill chicken breasts.”

Spending time with family and eating chicken are popular Father’s Day choices. Craig Stodola has a similar vision.

“My ideal Father’s Day meal would involve a fried chicken picnic and my potato salad, my family at the Milwaukee zoo, then wandering around to see the animals with the kiddos. And finally, grabbing a cone at the ice cream store in the zoo’s family farm.”

Bob Orvis doesn’t mind manning the grill on Father’s Day.

“If it’s a nice day, I’d grill tuna steak and chicken with a side of fresh grilled vegetables. I marinate the chicken in rosemary and olive oil and cook it on indirect heat. The tuna steak I sear right over the hot grill.”
