Foodie Gift Ideas for Father’s Day

Father’s Day is just round the corner (June 20th, to be exact), which means it’s time to start shopping for Dad’s Day deals. If your pop loves to cook, here are a few gift ideas that will tickle any guy with a culinary inclination:

The Artisan Burger Tasting Kit is a great gift for beef-loving dads. Put his meat savvy to test!
Is your dad a grilling master? Stock up his bbq toolbox with a digital thermometer for grilling. Insert the probe into your food, then set the temperature alarm and forget about ever gnawing on leather-like steaks again.
If your family likes to tailgate or grill in small spaces, then consider a Picnic Plus Portable Gas Grill Tailgating Set Perfect for camping, road trips, or the big game event.
Or maybe he’d like the perfect compact patio grill, which can be stowed away in a closet when not in use.
Maybe dad wants a break from the grill – so get mom a copy of She-Smoke: A Backyard Barbecue Book. This new release, written by a woman, encourages women to step up and don that Grilling Queen title with pride. (here’s a review)
For a cold one on a hot day, your dad might appreciate insulated tumbler glasses that won’t leave icky sweat rings all over the table. Mom will love it too!
Add a little schwank to his evenings with a travel martini set. Shaken, not stirred, please.
Beer: every dad’s balm. Why not surprise him with a nifty home beer tap system?
