Father’s Day is just around the corner, which means two things:
1. You have to do something special for your dad.
2. You have no clue how to do something special for your dad.
No worries, because us here at Spoon have you covered. No need for a pricey gift – show your dad how much you really appreciate everything he does for you by making him a delicious brunch, booze included. He’ll be so impressed, he might even raise your debit card budget. Maybe.
So browse through and get cookin’.

Okay, okay, mimosas may be more white-girl-who-needs-to-Instagram-her-brunch than dad-esque, but no brunch is complete without some good champagne and juice. Get drunk here.

The truth is, anything on toast just screams brunch. You could probably stick a steak on toast and still get away with calling it brunch. But we ain’t complainin’. Recipe here.
6. Sweet & Salty Bacon Pancake Dippers
