Caramelized Onion, Spinach & Gruyere Strata with Tomatoes
Strata, a savory bread pudding, is an excellent brunch dish to prepare for a crowd on Father's Day. To start, it's nice to have something that can be served family-style, just bring it to the table and you're done! Additionally, the strata is best when made in advance. Assemble it the night before your gathering and simply transfer it from the fridge to the oven the next morning.
Deviled Egg Toast
Chef Jason Santos told TODAY Food he wanted to come up with a fun and original spin on the classic dish, but still keep it really yummy. Use a delicious bread for this recipe to make it a true winner.
Grilled Baby Back Ribs
"I know wrapping something in plastic and then putting it into the oven might sound crazy, but trust me on this one," said Santos. "Wrapping these ribs in plastic wrap keeps all the moisture inside, almost steaming them. I personally promise that these are the most tender and juicy ribs you will ever eat."

Poppa's Pride Cocktail
After all that food, dad may need a digestif cocktail. The bitters and ginger help aid digestion, according to the mastermind who created the recipe, Jay Zimmerman, owner of Sekend Sun in Astoria, Queens.
Cajun Bloody Mary
Sometimes even the best recipes need changing, adjusting and rethinking — but not this one! "I have been using this for over a decade and haven't changed it, or even wanted to," Santos told TODAY. This bloody mary is the perfect balance of spice, tomato flavor and booziness.
Classic Old Fashioned Cocktail
It doesn't get more classic than a traditional old fashioned with aromatic bitters, citrusy orange and a sweet cherry to top it all off. Dad will be super impressed.
