Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 21, not last Sunday. (Did you get confused, too? A lot of people did.) Celebrate dad with a delicious feast at home. We’ve rounded up some great options for you.
Surf ’n’ Turf Bundle by Benedicto Kitchen
Benedicto Kitchen’s Surf ‘n’ Turf Bundle (roast beef, baked parmesan salmon and creamed corn) is so good, I placed my Father’s Day order and paid three weeks ago to make sure I got a slot. And I added porchetta, too. They usually require two days’ lead time, but if you’re ordering for a Sunday, you’ll have to place your order by Thursday. (That’s today!)
