Tacos and a Beer Tasting
Antique Taco (1360 N. Milwaukee Ave) is offering a selection of tacos (Beer Can Pollo), quesadillas, chips and salsa and more along with a 5 Rabbit Cerveceria beer tasting. Tickets are $35 for the meal and beer tasting, $20 for tacos only and $10 for kids.

A Sausage Making Class
If you're looking for a unique gift, TÊTE Charcuterie (1114 W. Randolph St.) is offering a new sausage class that dads (or anyone) will enjoy. Learn how to make sausage, enjoy a sausage dish and then take home one pound of the finished product. Classes are $125, begin in July and are held Mondays at 7 p.m. Call 312-733-1178 to reserve.

Brunch
Brunch isn't just for Mother's Day. Many local restaurants are offering specials that make for a great excuse to invite your dad out for a morning meal. Specials that stand out include the Triple S Farms braised short rib omelet at Nana (3267 S. Halsted St.), oxtail ramen at Furious Spoon (1571 N. Milwaukee Ave.), beef and duck confit burgers at Chez Moi (2100 N. Halsted St.) and a pork shank with aji panca adobo sauce at Tanta (118 W. Grand Ave).

Man Tea
Probably the weirdest option is the ‘Man’hattan Tea at The Langham, a version of their popular high tea that might entice even Ron Swanson. The tea is paired with "manly" tea snacks like mini prime steak burgers, braised short rib grilled cheese and desserts like chocolate cigars. Call 312-923-7632 to reserve.
