Lobster, steak, craft gin and “beer cake”—treat Dad to a filling Father’s Day meal today. Super lists dining options that will make both daddies and kids stuffed and happy.
Bun Appetit—The new Lobster Quarter Pounder is a potato burger with Maine lobster meat, aioli and lettuce—and it is available only on June 16. Co-owner Lawrence Cua calls it the ultimate “man bun.” It has more meat than the shop’s signature lobster roll minus the lemon-butter sauce. Meal comes with chips and drink (P995).
