A Day for Dad

by UA on June 12, 2013 in Holidays

Father’s Day is coming fast! Time is running out to get the perfect gift for that special guy in your life. In our last blog, Father’s Day Gifts: Time is Running Out! we wrote about getting dad an embroidered chef coat with his name, #1 Dad, or another term of endearment printed right on it. If that’s not up your alley, or you’d rather get a little more creative, here are a few other ideas to get you started on your “Day for Dad”:

Make him his favorite breakfast in bed. Don’t skimp on the bacon!
Take him to his favorite sporting event. Not the right season? How about playing it with him instead?
Do his favorite activity with him. If it’s the same as number 2, you’ve killed two birds with one ball!
Put on his favorite movie and watch with him. Try your best not to fall asleep or whine.
Take him to his favorite restaurant for dinner, or cook him his favorite meal. The way to a man’s heart is through the stomach.
Don’t make him fix, kill, walk, feed, or clean anything today – unless he REALLY wants to.

… and of course, the most important one:

Be sure to wish him a HAPPY FATHER’S Day!

Father’s Day Gifts: Time is Running Out!

by UA on June 9, 2013 in Holidays

The clock is ticking… there’s only one week left until Father’s Day (if you’re not aware, it’s next Sunday, 6/16)! Are you tired of getting dad the same old gifts like ties and tools? Doesn’t he deserve something a little more fun and personal this year? Still not sure what to get him? How about a new chef uniform, with his name embroidered on it? He’ll be able to show off to family and friends at barbecues or family get-togethers, and he’s sure to be the life of the party.

It’s getting hotter out there, so be sure to check out a short sleeved chef coat for those hot summer days out by the grill. If you can’t find what you’re looking for there, go to our men’s chef coat department, you’re sure to find the right gift for the occasion.

Happy Father’s Day!

It’s Father’s Day again, and ChefUniforms.com would like to wish all of the fathers out there a happy and healthy holiday with your families. If you’re like me, you are probably still looking for that last-minute Father’s Day gift. Luckily, last year we posted a blog with some ideas for just such an occasion, so read and enjoy: A Gift for Father’s Day. And as we said last year, the way to any man’s heart is through his stomach, so cook up a little something he’ll enjoy, and it’ll be a Father’s Day to remember. Here are a few ideas (in addition to those listed in last year’s blog) that your dad is sure to love, because they all incorporate bacon into the mix! Wrap anything in bacon and he will love you for it… Seriously, anything.

– Bacon Strip Pancakes – speaking of breakfast, why take time preparing the main entrée and sides, when you can include it all in one! Cook the bacon strips directly into the pancakes. Save time, dishwasher space, and make your dad or husband the happiest man on earth for one glorious breakfast.

– Bacon-wrapped tater tots – how amazing does that sound?! These are a great appetizer or snack, and prepare his taste buds for the bacon-tastic meal that is to come.

– Bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers – give your bacon some extra kick with a spicy jalapeno inside! This is another great appetizer or hors d’ oeuvre idea, and it’ll only take you 20 minutes to prepare and make!

– Chicken and waffle sandwich – don’t forget the bacon! Not only will this sandwich include 3 of his favorite foods on one epic plate, it’ll be the perfect combination of breakfast, lunch and dinner that will make his mouth water just looking at it.

– Grilled Cheese with Bacon – the classic sandwich with a dash of awesome. The crispy bacon adds texture and flavor to the sandwich, while preserving that gooey cheesy center.

– Chocolate Covered Bacon – a dessert that includes both chocolate and bacon? Doesn’t get much better than that! Drizzle it on or dip the whole thing, it’s up to you!

Of course there are thousands of bacon-themed ideas to choose from, but this was a short list of the ones that I plan on trying myself in the near future. I’ll be sure to post recipes and pictures when I do!

Do you have a favorite bacon-themed meal or dish? Share a recipe with us and we’ll cook it up!

A Gift for Father’s Day

by UA on June 15, 2011 in Chef Uniforms, General Chef Talk

Father’s Day. The third Sunday in June, when families come together and honor that person they so affectionately call dad. And how do we honor our dads? Presents! It is a proven fact that dads love presents. But what do you get for the guy who has everything? Isn’t it obvious? No, not another tie. Get him a brand new chef uniform from ChefUniforms.com! You might say, “But Father’s Day is just 4 days away! How can I order something online and expect to receive it by Sunday?” Well, with ChefUniform.com’s Express or Overnight Delivery, you can be sure your gift reaches its destination on time. And hey, there’s always his birthday!

Whether or not he’s a chef, a new chef uniform would make a great gift for any dad. You can embroider “#1 Dad”, “World’s Greatest Dad”, or even his name onto a new chef coat. Trust me, he’ll love the thought, and he’ll really love that he has one more thing that proves his greatness to all of the other dads in the neighborhood.

Another idea for a gift is a pair of slip resistant chef shoes. You don’t have to be a chef to wear them, and there are a number of uses for these shoes, only one of which involves the kitchen. In addition to the obvious kitchen use, you can wear slip-resistant shoes on a boat, in a hospital, on a running track, or anywhere else you can think of where you might be in danger of losing your footing. Of course, if your father is a chef, then what better way to say “I love you” and “I care about your well-being” than a good pair of don’t-slip-in-the-kitchen chef shoes?

Want to spoil your dad without spending too much money this holiday? Here’s a tip – the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. With that in mind, here are a few ideas to sweep dad off his feet:

Start his day off right by bringing him breakfast in bed. Don’t forget the OJ!
Cook him a big, juicy steak or burger, but add something new to the mix: find a recipe for an “ultimate burger”, or anything that is bacon-wrapped.
Dads work hard all week; Fathers Day should be his day of rest and relaxation. Bring him his favorite beer and he’ll be your best friend.
Take his favorite food and kick it up a notch. Deep-fry it or wrap it in bacon (again, bacon always gets a thumbs up), but whatever you do, don’t make it healthy! It’s his one day to eat like a king, so let him! His arteries won’t thank you, but his stomach and taste buds will.
Take him to his favorite restaurant and surprise him with a meet and greet with the head chef, followed by a food tasting. If he loves food as much as we do, he’ll love every minute of it.

And remember, if you are going to buy him a gift, as much as dads love wearing ties, there is a limit to the number of ties a man can own, so stop buying ties for father’s day and start thinking outside of the box! Visit ChefUniforms.com for more gift ideas for this coming Father’s Day.
