Well, it seems like it sometimes.

See, we’re on vacation. And we’ve made it a rule to not eat out as much as possible on vacation.

We have kids under age 10 and all the “family-oriented” places around here are, well, deep-fried disappointment.

Ugh.

Plus, there are lines and waiting and complaining.

That’s not much of a vacation.

So we opt to cook our favorites at our home away from home.

And these steakburgers? Well, they were heaven.

As soon as we began cooking, the place where we’re staying filled quickly with the amazing aroma of grilled beef and we all could hardly contain our appetites until the sweet relief of a plate on the table.

No lines, no gum-chewing waitress, no bill, no TIPPING.

Just my food exactly the way I like it with incredible smoky bacon and ooey, gooey cheese.

You tell me heaven isn’t like that. I dare ya!

It’s that time of year! So many things to celebrate – Father’s Day, graduations . . . summer!

And how do we celebrate things around here? Why, with food, of course!

So to help us do that, here’s a video of Arturo McLeod, executive chef at Benjamin Steak House in NYC, showing us exactly how to grill that perfect steak or burger.

My favorite takeaway from this one? Heat your grill 30-45 minutes before putting on the steaks.

Now that’s a HOT grill! Makes sense, though.

Mmmm, I can hear that beef sizzling now . . .

Yeah, that headline sounds kinda cavemanish. But it’s basically been a fact since time began that men love beef.

So what better to get dear old Dad this Father’s Day than an exquisite cut of beef – or two?

I know my dad would love it. Who do you think taught me to appreciate a juicy steak?

Here are some great Father’s Day gift ideas that’ll have Dad’s mouth watering and his heart full.

Things like gift boxed Kansas City strip steaks will make him jump for joy (check them out above).

Or what about Wagyu Kobe beef steakburgers? Isn’t Father’s Day the time to break out the really good stuff?

And you can never go wrong with a gift certificate that lets Dad pick his own beefy goodies.

Like a kid in a candy store.

Think about it. But not for too long – you want it to arrive in time for Father’s Day, June 19th!
