Mom gets taken out in May, Dads not so much in June. Could be that's changing. Baltimore restaurants are tempting pops with steak, golf balls, beer and whiskey.
Here's what I know about local restaurant promotions for Father's Day. Tell me more, either in the comments, or in an email to me at richard.gorelick@baltsun.com
