’Tis the season for forgetting every unique personality trait your dad possesses. What does he like? Napping? Golf? Asking me when I last checked the oil in my car when he knows damn well the answer is never?

Doesn’t matter. He’s gotta eat. And food is one of those sneaky gifts that—if you’re dining together— also happens to be a present for yourself. If the father figure in your life is a take-control daddio, we’ve got a list of grill-at-home takeout from local restaurants. If he’d rather relax till he can smell the food, there’s ready-to-eat options down the list. All of the picks below are available for pre-order online now—and Father’s Day is Sunday, June 20th, but I’m sure you totally knew that.
