DEALS FOR DAD: DINING OPTIONS FOR FATHER’S DAY
Father’s Day
You know the cliché: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” And, of course, there are plenty of ideas to win the affection of your father, but feeding his soul is still a surefire way to celebrate his worth. Treat him to a lovely brunch or dinner and add a few activities to spice up the experience.
Here are 10 great local restaurants that want to help you spoil Dad this year.
The Parched Pig
There is enough space for the adventure-seeking early birds. On Sunday from 6 to 11 p.m., The Parched Pig is curating an exclusive evening of barbecue, beer and bourbon. Their newly launched libations menu features smoked barbecue plates and cocktails. Details: PBR beer $2, smoked barbecue plate for $5, old-fashioned cocktails $8.

The Beauty and The Beeeef
May the force be with your dad. Say the password, “Han Solo,” and receive 50 percent off your lunch or dinner. That’s enough to enjoy what this newly opened restaurant at the Mall at Wellington Green has to offer.
Their gourmet Angus beef hamburgers will have you drooling but I’d stalk their Epic burger — it features “a quadruple beef patty, cream Brie, smoked bacon, melted peanut butter, porto mushroom sauce, and crowned with a fried KitKat on a brioche bun.”
