A Father's Day Fiesta!

Break out the maracas and honor Dad with this Havana-inspired spread!

Spanish, African, and Caribbean cuisines all lend influence to Cuba's bold-flavored national dishes. Follow personal party chef John Verlinden's "nuevo Cuban cuisine" menu for a soup-to-nuts feast ranging from Cuba's staple sauce of Mojo Criollo, to Cuban-Style BBQ Pork Ribs and easy, delicious Guava Bars to finish (plus everything in-between).

Bring on the Backyard BBQ

Nothing says "I love you, Dad" like finger-lickin' smoked pork and a cold, refreshing beer cocktail. Hero favorite, Mark Patuto, is back to show you how to smoke a pork shoulder for delicious Pulled Pork and how to make Coal-Roasted Potatoes. And our own Maria Collins shares her recipe for a refreshing afternoon beverage, the Michelada, with the perfect balance of lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and of course, icy cold Mexican beer.
