Best Father’s Day gifts for every kind of foodie dad
These are the winners he didn't know he wanted.
If your dad is like mine, his autoresponse to the question, "What would you like for [insert gift-giving holiday here]," is something along the lines of: "Don't get me anything! I don't need anything." But I can always spot a twinkle in his eye when he's tearing open the paper, especially when the item underneath is a new fun toy for the kitchen.
Since he's our resident master of all things breakfast (and has recently been perfecting his eggs-in-a-hash-brown-basket), my plan for Father's Day gifts delivery is to get him something small but mighty to assist in that quest, like a Frywall or a better box grater. Although, on second thought... he's also been talking more and more about collecting wine, and he tells me how much he loves his Le Creuset cookware every time I see him using it.
There are many sides to any dad, so there are many perfect fathers day gift options online , too. Whether your dad is a breakfast chef, aspiring oenophile and cast-iron connoisseur like mine, or something else entirely, I've got plenty of ideas for a gift that's sure to get those eyes sparkling.
Whether it's bacon and hash browns or fried chicken and collards, this handy little tool -- a BPA-free silicone cone that fits directly into your pan -- helps minimize the mess. That way Dad can fry to his heart's content without worrying about those pesky splatters getting everywhere.
There's a good chance dad has a set of knives and an even better chance that some of them are dull. Sharpening knives by hand -- and doing it well -- is a tricky business so leave it to the experts. Knife Aid sends a package out dad's house to safely pack and ship his knives back and send them back to be sharpened by pros. You can send fathers day gift him a gift card or go ahead and order a sharpening and the initial box will show up in the mail. It's $59 for four knives ($15 per knife) but if you consider they only really need this kind of treatment once a year or so, it's absolutely worth it. It's also probably something he wouldn't do on his own.
If he's been making do with a second-rate meat thermometer (or -- gasp -- is one of those people who cuts in to see if it's done), your dad is going to love the MK4 from Thermoworks. This highly accurate little tool comes in 10 colors, gives you a temp in two to three seconds and will take all the guesswork out of centerpiece roasts.
The most important tool in any kitchen, hands down, is a quality chef's knife. Even if your dad already has a full set, he'll love this stunner from Japanese brand Miyabi, which looks as twice as nice as anything else on the market, and cuts even better.
Give Dad a reason to fire up the barbie with this awesome gift from Snake River Farms, which, along with Double R Ranch, is part of Agri Beef, a family-owned and operated business dedicated to producing the highest-quality beef and pork in the US. This option includes two hand-cut American Wagyu top sirloins that have been wet-aged for 21-plus days for improved flavor and texture. But this company's got all kinds of options to choose from if Dad prefers another cut.
I can't think of a gift my dad would like more than a delivery of wild salmon fished from cold Alaskan waters. Wild Alaskan Company is one of our favorite purveyors of the good stuff -- and not just salmon. Wild Alaskan Company functions as a subscription service but you can cancel anytime.
