Father's Day Specials; Whole Foods Hillcrest Party; New BJ's Restaurant for Mission Valley

AROUND TOWN— Father's Day brings lots of delicious deals and freebies for your favorite guy. Take him to Craft & Commerce on Sunday to score a free Old Fashioned or head to one of The Counter locations (Carlsbad, Del Mar, Downtown) for a free burger for dads (say "BFD" and get a free 1/3 lb. burger).

Beaumont's Eatery has a Father's Day brunch with Surf and Turf Bloody Marys and chef George Morris' chicken and waffle benedict and beer-loving dads will most definitely dig The Lost Abbey's Father's Day special, a $20 bundle includes an empty growler, a gift card ($15 value) and two pint glasses.
