Ale Sharpton’s 2013 Father’s Day Gift Guide: Feed him!

Check out this pic I took at the recent Ri Ra and Oskar Blues beer dinner. Delish!
Here's an extensive list of places for Dad to grub!

What’s that saying? I think it’s “A way to a man’s heart through his stomach.” Well whatever it is, I say there’s some validity there, so make a dad smile by bringing him to one of the seemingly countless Atlanta eat spots that do their best to pamper him in culinary bliss listed below. Make reservations today!

Cheers!
Ale
