Father\u2019s Day 2016 is just a few days away. If you have a foodie in your life that\u2019s a dad, it\u2019s time to make plans! Here are details on a few Bay Area restaurants; I\u2019ll publish more later today or tomorrow — including at least a couple options in Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n

MONTEREY
\nThe C<\/strong>
\nWhile the C at InterContinental The Clement Monterey (750 Cannery Row) doesn\u2019t have any \u201cspecific Father\u2019s Day specials,\u201d a restaurant spokesperson emphasized they are the \u201cplace to be\u201d in Monterey for Father’s Day Eve, or day of, and provided me with details. \u201cFirst, the Build Your Bloody Mary option. Dad can craft his own manly version of one of the legendary drinks with the help of our generous bartenders! And if you have laid eyes on the pork chop we serve at the C, you know that it is also fit for a man’s world. If breakfast is the meal, our sensational new menu additions will make any man smile. Steak and eggs with chilaquiles or chiles rellenos filled with corned beef — Delicioso! Sabroso! Factor in the sights and sounds of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the combination makes Dad’s Perfect Day!\u201d For reservations or more info, contact 831-375-4800 or see web site<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
