Father's Day Special
The following is taken from Peter King's weekly Monday Morning Quarterback article on SI.com which is an excellent read by the way:

Two men. Ten marriages between them. Here's the Father's Day Note of the Week:
Something called the National Father's Day Council named Larry King and Donald Trump two of its three fathers of the year. According to the New York Post, selection committee chairman Rich Wurtzburger said King and Trump had shown 'great dedication to raising their families.'
King has been married seven times, Trump three. And as the Post pointed out, Trump had three young children when he had an affair with Marla Maples in the '80s.
That's the kind of Dad-like example we want to set for the rest of America!
An interview King had with the New York Times showed the kind of husband-like example we like to see.
Said King: 'I get amazed at the 50-year marriage. My father-in-law is married 50 years. To me, they've had to compensate a lot more than I did. Compensate, make arrangements, give up things, which I wasn't willing to do.'
That's the spirit! Get married, and then, as soon as you wake up one morning not wanting to be married right then, get divorced! Then get married again! And when you see a prettier woman than your wife, get divorced again and get married to the babe!

Classic.
On the flipside, my roommate and I both had our fathers in town for the weekend. Great weather, great times, and great food. In four consecutive meals, we hit up:

On the flipside, my roommate and I both had our fathers in town for the weekend. Great weather, great times, and great food. In four consecutive meals, we hit up:
- Grimaldi's - rated the best pizza (italics necessary) in the city, and while I see how such an honor could be bestowed, I would still give the edge to Lombardi's
- Pearson's Texas BBQ - not the absolute best in the world but good enough for the city life
- Carnegie Deli - quite simply, the best deli in the world (im eating the rest of my Woody Allen right now)
- Mesa Grill - one of Bobby Flay's restaurants and its worth the expensive bill (occasionally at least)
It's hard to do it better than that, folks.
