Just like food, every dad has his own unique flavor. Maybe yours is the sweet and mellow type, or perhaps he leans more towards the spicy and adventurous side. No matter where your dad may land on the personality spectrum, he deserves to be shown some Father’s Day appreciation in the way that suits him best. That’s why we’ve selected our favorite items found in store for you to gift to the sweet, spicy, or savory dad in your life.
Did you know that every Metropolitan Market location has a dedicated housewares department? (Hint: it may be on a different floor from where you buy groceries!) Knock out your Father’s Day celebration menu and gift shopping in one trip.

The Spicy Dad
“Boring” is not in this dad’s vocabulary. A thrill seeker through and through, the Spicy Dad knows how to live life to the fullest. Growing up, he encouraged you to be brave and dream big, often leading by example. The best gift for the Spicy Dad is one that matches his bold energy.

The Savory Dad
Grill master at the tailgate, coach of the high school basketball team, and captain of the summertime pontoon—the Savory Dad can do it all. He’s always ready with a good dad joke…or five.
