Hey there Reader,

Dad taught us to flip burgers without pressing them flat, and when hot dogs hit that perfect char (seriously, charred hot dogs are the best).

This Father's Day, we're celebrating with 25 recipes to cook for the legend of the grill himself so he can sit back and enjoy the day while you show off with everything he taught you. You're about to make Dad proud.
