Drago chef Evan Gotanda, executive executor of the restaurant’s recent duck menu, has something up his sleeve for your dad: five courses of pork paired with five different beers. The $59 dinner ($20 more for the beer) is for the dad who isn’t afraid to get down on some offal. The menu starts with a spread of head cheese with pickled vegetables, includes pigs feet croquettes, and ends on a bacon blood pudding, with nthe option to pair Italian, German, Belgian, and U.S. beers with each bite. Over at Downtown’s Drago Centro, the offer of a six-course dinner for dad is less porcine and less anatomical, with entrees like horseradish crusted halibut and lobster carbonara offered among the $70 selections ($30 extra for beer). Check out both menus below if you’re in search of a gift for the family patron who really likes to pig-out.
