What's a party without favors? Make Dad the talk of the town with a grill cover sporting his team's true colors, a customized branding iron, or a superfast meat marinator. Call them toys or grilling essentials, these picks are sure to have Dad smiling.

Few can resist perfectly grilled steak. Fire up the grill for juicy recipes featuring tenderloin, sirloin, New York strip and porterhouse steaks for a delicious dinner that's sure to make Dad proud.

Even if Dad has always been the one to man the grill, give him the day off and fire up the coals yourself. Follow our five simple tips to ensure a top-of-the-line meal without any fuss. You may find yourself fighting Dad for the tongs more often.

When dinner's over, treat Dad to a mile-high treat of summer-fresh cream pies loaded with chocolate, berries, and sweet whipped cream. These treats are as great to look at as they are to eat.

Keep the meal preparations outside by skipping the steamed veggies in favor of these hearty sides. Stuffed mushrooms, grilled zucchini, and sweet potato fries will make any Dad hunger for next year's Father's Day to come quickly.
