In fact, they couldn’t be more opposite. In my experience, we are often obligated to cook for ourselves and our loved ones on Father’s Day. But it’s not so bad when you have a bunch of great recipes to choose from. The geek in me can’t help but be reminded of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and “Hulk smash”, when I think about Lan Lam’s [Smashed Burgers](. Both the Hulk and the burgers are incredible, but the burgers even more so. With that crisp crust and special sauce, they easily make for a special “dad day” burger. For a more elevated beef experience, [Slow-Roasted Medium-Rare Beef Short Ribs]( by Cook’s Country’s Mark Huxsoll answers the call with luxuriously rich steaks that are meant to be shared. If you or your dad are anything like some of my buddies, who like to charter a boat for the occasional fishing trip, this next recipe is for you. The fresher, the better–of course, store-bought fish can be used–for Matthew Fairman’s [Tuna Poke](. Fresh, dense, meaty, clean-tasting yellowfin tuna tossed with a pleasing mix of spice, umami, and textural contrast. For lighter fare while still keeping the grilling vibe, Morgan Bolling’s [Grilled Chicken Souvlaki]( has marinated chicken on skewers. Who doesn’t like eating food on sticks? The chicken is charred to perfection and finished with a buttery tahini sauce drizzle! Kicking it up a notch is [Grilled Lobsters]( from the Foolproof Fish book. These split and grilled crustaceans served with a buttery, herby bread-crumb topping can’t help but elicit a jaw drop when revealed. With these suggestions to cook, I’m probably not alone when it comes to not making reservations for a happy Father’s Day. Members get every recipe, review, and video.
