Poor dads all over the world get shafted on Father’s Day. In my family, it’s the same way. We make a big hullabaloo over Mother’s Day, and then Father’s Day comes around, and my dad gets a screwdriver as a present. Well, here’s my contribution to all the good fathers out there who, like mine, change their daughters’ car engine oil, act as an exterminator for spiders, and fix all their computer woes. Hats off to you. And thanks, Papa Shih.
I’ll keep updating this list as more restaurants send me their menus. It’s looking mighty short right now.
