Let's be honest: most dads don't need another tie, coffee mug, or "World's Best Dad" T-shirt. I'm guessing, I've never had a dad, so Fathers day has never been any real deal for me. But I've learned a few things along the way. What they really want is a great meal and quality time with the people they love.
If you're looking for the perfect place to celebrate Father's Day in Fort Wayne, here are some local favorites that are sure to make Dad's day.
