Dad Might Just Want a Day Off from the Grill
Every June, families across Western New York go through the exact same routine. We panic-buy dad another highly specific grill gadget he’ll use exactly once, grab a “World’s Best Farter… I Mean Father” greeting card, and pick up a six-pack of his favorite adult beverage. Then, as the ultimate celebration of his special day, we invite the entire extended family over and make him cook for everyone.
There’s a strange, undeniable irony in how we celebrate Father’s Day. We genuinely want to treat the guy, but he usually ends up spending his afternoon sweating over 400-degree coals while everyone else relaxes on the patio with a cold drink.
If you’re currently scrolling the internet for the best Father’s day ideas Western New York has to offer, let’s make a pact to skip the hardware store for a new set of tongs and “Grills Just Wanna Have Fun” apron. Instead, let’s just focus on giving Dad the day off.
Anatomy of a “Relaxing” Sunday
If Dad’s cooking, he’s not relaxing. He’s doing mental math to make sure the chicken finishes at the exact same time as the hot dogs. He’s fielding unhelpful cooking advice from Aunt Shannon. And he’s performing the obligatory double-click of the tongs to ensure they still work.
While manning the grill is a point of pride for a lot of guys, it’s still work. When you decide to cater Father’s Day, that pressure vanishes. No one has to wake up early to prep three different side dishes. No one has to play a dangerous game of oven Tetris to keep the baked beans warm. And nobody has to spend 30 minutes scraping burnt barbecue sauce off the grill grates at the end of the night.
Keep It Classic
With a simple drop-off package catering package from Chiavetta’s, you get all the smoky, charred flavor of a classic summer cookout without sacrificing anyone’s sanity or time. You just open the aluminum trays, set out the disposable plates, and let your guests dig in. Dad goes first, of course, gets a heaping plate of his favorite BBQ chicken. And, he gets to actually sit down in his favorite lawn chair, and tell the stories you’ve already heard a dozen times. Win-Win-Win! (kind of)
If you want the most reliable, tastiest BBQ catering WNY families trust, Chiavetta’s has your back. We’ve been the soundtrack (and the smell) of local summer parties for decades because people know exactly what they’re getting: hearty, unapologetically good food that absolutely everyone loves. So let us handle the heavy lifting. Grab a drink, pull up a chair next to the old man, and enjoy the afternoon – and the food – together.
