Is through his stomach.
This fact was well ingrained into me from birth. Yes, he will have bacon, eggs, and pancakes. And yes, he will have seconds. The first man I loved, and will always love, is my father. In honor of Father’s Day, I compiled a list of chow-down spots that will make your dad, and mine, giddy. Here’s to all you fathers, husbands, and sons!
1. For the Brunch Fanatic:
BLD
7450 Beverly Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90036
(323) 930-9744
* My favorite thing to get here are the blueberry ricotta pancakes. So good, they were featured on Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” show.

2. For the Savory & Sweet Lover
Huckleberry
1014 Wilshire Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90401
(310) 451-2311
I have three words for you: Maple. Bacon. Biscuit. I promise the only regret you’ll have is not ordering two.

3. For the Burger & Beer Guy
Father’s Office
1018 Montana Avenue
Santa Monica, CA 90403
(310) 736-2224
“…nationally acclaimed Los Angeles Gastropub and home of the much touted “Office Burger”. Our focus is craft beer and its pairing with food. We feature a seasonally rotating selection of 36 craft beers on tap along with esoteric small producer wines and micro distilled spirits…”

Let me start off by saying, this place is a local institution. I’d feel wrong if I left without loosening my belt buckle. Ladies, take your man here for some bonding over sports, tap beer, and a “get-your-hands-dirty” burger. It will be worth your while. And he’ll probably be so happy that he’ll take you shopping afterwards.
4. For the Soul Food Lovin Man
Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles
5006 W Pico Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90019
(323) 934-4405
When I think of “man food”, I think of stick to your ribs, southern food. Their famous fried chicken and waffles draw in Angelenos by the masses each day. No shocker.

Look at the crisp on that waffle! Nobody likes a soggy waffle. Roscoe’s does it right.
5. For the Breakfast In Bed Man
1234 Your Home
City, State, Zip Code

They won’t admit it, but they like to be pampered too. And their favorite spot? The couch. Cook them breakfast at home and then spend the day together. Life is about the simple pleasures, and it doesn’t get any simpler than this.
Happy Father’s Day!
