Chowhound - Gifts for Dads Who Enjoy Their Booze

Dad’s the guy who puts everyone else first, a silent saint, bending over backwards and for what—the big piece of chicken?

From a bold bottle of booze to a gadget to vault his cocktail game, we did all the legwork. So put that shirt and tie combo back on the shelf and make some liquid magic this Father’s Day. 

Drinkhacker -  Sake Tasting and Mac Pairing with Sake Social

Mac and cheese is such an U.S. staple that it has its own one syllable moniker. Like Cher or Elvis, we also have Mac. I recently went down a sake/shochu/mac rabbit hole and damn, it was delicious.

In a country where many consumers mistakenly think of Sake as a “rice wine” (it’s actually much more akin to beer, as Sake is made from grains and not fruit), many bars and restaurants are treating it as a new discovery and not the centuries-old tradition that it is.
