Ok, just for a moment I’m going to shut my eyes and pretend I’m a Dad… Oh… this is nice… yes, I could get used to this… wake up, make breakfast (alone) have a shower (without anyone crying out my name) get dressed (without anyone pulling at my clothes or trying to use my things) go to work (no screaming children for 8 hours…) Yes… this is good! Now, as a Dad, what would I like to eat on Father’s Day?! Hmmm… beer… beer and meat… and WAKE UP! Back to reality!
Ok Dad, lucky for you (after our little trip into your brain) here are our top four picks for lunch/dinner on the Mornington Peninsula that include beer and meat this Father’s Day!
