Shecky’s

This Father’s Day, give dad a break from the grill and show off your own cooking skills with these delicious dad-approved dishes. Dads are generally pretty easy to please—just give them something with bacon, beer, cheese or a tasty combo of the three, and you have yourself one happy pop. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and with these bacon cupcakes, chipotle mac ‘n’ cheese and beer pancakes, dad’s heart will definitely be full of love for his darling children this Father’s Day!
