Father’s Day Finds for the Food-Lovin’ Dad

Father’s Day Finds for the Food-Lovin’ Dad

A Flavorful Tribute to the Ones Who Fed Us Well

Some dads build things with their hands. Mine built memories—with a skillet in one hand and a story in the other.

My dad loved to cook. He wasn’t just a man of recipes—he was a man of flavor, creativity, and heart. He was the one who taught me how to season a cast iron skillet just right, how to pickle peppers with patience, and how to always sneak a taste for “quality control.” He would’ve absolutely loved what the Foodie Tasting Room has become—a place where stories live on through the ingredients we cook with, and every jar or bottle comes with a tale worth telling.

He would have thrived here—tasting every oil, trying every vinegar, asking questions, and sharing his own. And I know without a doubt he would’ve had his own little stool behind the counter, chatting with customers about what makes our Bourbon Balsamic a perfect marinade or how our Garlic Herb Olive Oil turns any steak into magic. He’d be proud to see how the recipes from an old family box became handcrafted staples on our shelves—recipes that once lived on paper now living in bottles, jars, and memories.

For the Dad Who Loves to Grill, Snack, and Savor

If your dad’s love language is food, we’ve got just the lineup for him this Father’s Day—handpicked with flavor, function, and fire in mind:

🔥 Grill Master Must-Haves

  • Bacon or Smoked Olive Oil – perfect for marinating meats, tossing veggies, or brushing on grilled bread.

  • Maple Balsamic – sweet, smoky, and sensational on ribs, pork chops, or grilled peaches.

  • Grilling Rub – our handcrafted blend that turns any backyard BBQ into a flavor bomb.

  • Hickory Smoked Sea Salt – for the dad who says “kick it up a notch.”

🍳 For the Breakfast Boss

  • Bacon Jalapeño Jam – incredible on biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, or whisked into glazes.

  • Zesty Onion EVOO – drizzle into scrambled eggs or use in breakfast hash with crispy potatoes and sausage.

  • Clover Honey – add it to grilled bacon or brush over grilled fruit for a sweet-and-savory twist.

🍺 Snacks, Sips, & Dips

  • Craft Mustard, Savory Jellies, and Pickled Veggies – pair with smoked sausage or a charcuterie board for porch snacking.

  • Artisan Spice Blends – small-batch, hand-crafted, and bursting with bold flavor.

  • Bread Mixes and Bread Dipping Herbs – because dads love carbs, too.
