Father's Day gifts any dad would love
Home contractor Skip Bedell shows off the latest technology and tools.
Aside from their shared love of blonde highlights (and, presumably, the music of Chickenfoot), Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar both have a deep love of fine spirits and fine cuisine.
To that end, Fieri and Hagar — who have previously collaborated on a tequila for Hagar’s line of spirits — are now offering up their ideas for a perfect Father’s Day feast, which of course involves a tequila-based cocktail and tequila-marinated steak.

In honor of dads everywhere, Fieri and Hagar’s Santo Spirits brand is also hosting a “Rockin’ Santo Dad Giveaway,” where they will award two lucky winners with one of two dad-approved prizes: an electric guitar signed by Hagar, or a chef’s knife signed by Fieri. (Entries will be accepted until 12 p.m. PST on June 21.) Winners will be selected via a random drawing at a later date.
In the meantime, and just in case you don’t win your father a guitar signed by the famously fast-driving former singer of Van Halen, it’s a good idea to have a backup plan — and steak with booze is the perfect choice.
