I wanted to remember my Dad this Father’s Day by blogging about one of his recipes. Dad did not cook a lot but he had a few special dishes. I turned to my sister Nancy the other day and said, “What should Dad’s Blog be about? ” We both turned to each other and said simultaneously, Blue Cheese Dressing! My Dad was in banking, think Don Draper giving out loans instead of managing an ad agency and that would be Dad. Lunches and dinners with clients, often at the top steakhouses in the city. When Dad liked something he dined on , he often would come home and explain it to my mother. Mom is amazing, she had a very high success rate recreating dishes for my Dad. There were rare occasions where my father would try a recipe out himself. It usually would be outdoors on the grill or to accompany something cooked on the grill. Here is a favorite – the absolute best blue cheese dressing you have ever had. This is courtesy of Dad and whatever steakhouse inspired him. Dad would ambitiously make this dressing in a mason jar, shaking vigorously to get the right consistency. I’m going to suggest grilling some romaine lettuce and sliced heirloom tomatoes to accompany this dressing in honor of Dad’s passion for steakhouse dining and grilling! Enjoy!
