We asked the Serious Eats staff what they would make for their dads (or other father figure) this Father's Day, and while the results were mostly meaty, they weren't all grilled, and there were even some desserts thrown in as well! While some of these recipes are a bit unexpected (piping hot chicken pot pie in June? And really, beef Wellington?), they are truly the recipes our dads want this Father's Day, and what dad wants, dad gets! Keep reading for the mains and desserts we'll be cooking up this Sunday.
