Alright You Brats, It Is Time to Be Nice to Daddy

Please continue check this post for updates on dining specials for Father’s Day and check it often. Although I am long-waisted, I’m a little short-handed right now and I don’t have the time or talent to put together a whiz-bang Father’s Day button, or whatever you call it, on this site. So every time I receive a press release or notice about Father’s Day, I will shamelessly copy and paste it below the jump. I’m sure I will be nominated for some web creativity award next year. Bear with me. (Ladies in the SideDish Choir, feel free to jump in.) OK, let’s get busy.
