Maybe it’s cliché, but we’re talking the school of beer, bbq and Hogs. Nothing more.
1) Beer 101 with the Beer Chicks ($)
How intimate are you with your beer palate? Dad’ll get to know his better with LA’s renowned beer sommeliers Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune. “Beers” the subject and girl instructors – this class should be included in every alma mater curriculum. Hosted at Santa Monica fave Rustic Canyon (June 19). Tickets still available online. Note: “Alma mater” is Latin for “nourishing mother.”
2) Grill Like Gordon Ramsey ($$ – $$$)
It’s sizzling hot over at The London, West Hollywood. Learn to grill like a pro from Gordon Ramsey’s culinary team in their Grilling Masterclass (June 19). Here’s the rub, it’s a pricey ticket ($350 for you and Dad), so if you’d rather not sweat it and just enjoy the spoils, make reservations for Sunday’s BBQ Feast ($85 pp) featuring Maine lobster, NY Strip and more.
3) Hog Wild ($$ – $$$$)
Leathered up and longing for the thrill of the open road? Make your (or Dad’s) Easy Rider fantasies come true with lessons on a Harley, bike included. What? Skilled rider already, but no bike, Captain America? Route 66 Riders, Marina Del Rey, rents Harleys. With their “Fly & Ride” program you can ride Route 66 Los Angeles to Chicago or any direction in between. Kick it all off at Harley-Davidson of Glendale’s 3rd Annual “Summer Rumble” (June 26). Custom cars and bikes, live music, tattoos and beer garden for your favorite softhearted, bad-ass Big Daddy.
Not-To-Miss Event: ESPN’s X-Games 16 (July 29 – Aug. 1) return to Los Angeles. Tickets on sale June 24. ‘Nuff said.
Happy Dad’s Day and don’t forget to tell ‘em “Kristin sent me.”
