The Meating Place

Maybe you want to celebrate this special day at home, grilling some steaks and spending time together in the pool. If so, this gem of a butcher shop is the spot for the best prime meats, gourmet specialty food, homemade salads, and soups – whatever you are looking for to make your meal special. Family-owned and operated since 1967, the staff here could not be friendlier or more knowledgeable. The Meating Place is a Boca Raton institution and should be the first place you think of when it’s time to fire up the grill.

Warren – American.Whisky.Kitchen
15084 Lyons Rd Bay 350, Delray Beach, FL 33446
561-455-4177
warrendelray.com

As Mark Twain once said, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whisky is barely enough.” If this sounds like something your dad might ascribe to, then the Warren is just the place. It has an old-school, comfy vibe with dim lighting, wood floors, and rich velvets and leathers. However, the real focal point is the whisky wall. At 900 bottles, not only is this the most extensive whisky library in South Florida – it is the most impressive. So, raise a glass and toast your father on his special day!

Some thoughts from Maura and me about Father’s day:

Last week when a tropical storm was heading to South Florida, it reminded me why I never worry about potential disasters. The simple fact is that there is a father and husband in my home, and a father can handle emergencies best.

My son tells a funny story about Hurricane Frances when our power went out, and my husband, Jack, stayed on the front porch in a vintage WWll helmet, chain-smoking and guarding the house throughout the night.

Good men do this well.

They stand in the way of danger to protect their family.

Thank you, fathers, everywhere who work two jobs, drive trucks, install roofs, fix plumbing, serve in the military, stop the bad guys and run into burning buildings.

Our society will never thrive without you; we need masculine energy more than ever.

Hug your father and hold him close. There may be some tough times ahead for our country.
