Happy Father’s Day

Father’s Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a celebration of the strength, sacrifice, and quiet wisdom that fathers bring to our lives. I believe that the best memories are made around the table, and some of the best life lessons are learned from the fathers who sit at the head of it.

Whether it’s a father, grandfather, stepdad, mentor, or any man who has played a guiding role, today we honor the ones who’ve been the steady hand in the kitchen of life—teaching us patience like waiting for bread to rise, resilience like turning tough cuts into tender roasts, and joy like sharing a perfectly seasoned meal with those we love.

As a chef, I often find that food brings us closer to those memories. The smell of grilled steak may remind you of summer cookouts with Dad. The sound of bacon sizzling might take you back to Sunday breakfasts. A favorite dish can become a legacy, passed down with the same care and love that fathers give.

So this Father’s Day, take a moment to share a meal, a memory, or even just a “thank you.” Fire up the grill, try a new recipe together, or recreate a classic dish that’s full of nostalgia.

To all the amazing dads out there—thank you for your love, your lessons, and your endless support. You are truly the secret ingredient to many of life’s most cherished moments.

With respect and gratitude,
Chef David Taylor
