Whether he's all about rock 'n roll or swings to the rhythm of jazz, the right music can turn your brunch from just another meal to an unforgettable stroll down memory lane.

Get Maine Lobster’s delectable offerings turn any brunch into a seaside escape, right at your dining table. Here’s how to spotlight our top-tier lobsters in dishes that are a breeze to make but taste like a million bucks:

  1. Classic Maine Lobster Rolls: Kick off your brunch with a beloved food icon—the lobster roll. Stuff those fluffy rolls with GML’s tender lobster and a hint of mayo. Add chives, not just for flavor, but to make the rolls pretty enough to eat—because we eat with our eyes first, right?
  1. Lobster Mac and Cheese: Mac and cheese? More like Mac and Yes, Please! Elevate this comfort classic with heaps of GML lobster. It’s so rich and creamy, you might just forget about dessert. Well, maybe...
  1. Grilled Lobster Tails: Nothing beats flames and outdoor adventure, especially on father’s day! With some GML lobster tails slathered in garlic butter, you’ll be sure to get dad’s taste buds feeling like a champion. It’s also the best way to keep dads occupied in the backyard and out of the kitchen.

Toss in chunks of that savory Maine lobster, sprinkle in some herbs and cheese, and voila! The star of brunch is in the building!

Personalizing Your Father’s Day Celebration

Personalizing your celebration is like saying how much you appreciate dad. It’s a way to show how much you’ve been paying attention all these years. Here’s how to tailor your Father’s Day brunch to the man of the hour:

  1. Personalized Mugs: Who delivers Dad’s morning dose of coffee better than a mug that’s exclusively his? Slap on a nickname, his go-to dad joke, or a loving “World’s Greatest Dad” boast to that mug. It’ll ensure his day starts with a hefty sip of joy—and maybe a chuckle or two.
  1. DIY Menu Cards: Create a brunch menu card that highlights all the dishes you’ve prepared, especially those featuring GML’s delicious lobster. Add a little note under each dish explaining why you chose it, like “Lobster Benedict, because you're the king of the castle” or “Grilled Lobster Tails, for the grill master himself.”
  1. Custom Cocktails or Brew Labels: If Dad enjoys a particular drink, customize it for the day. A special Father’s Day label on his favorite beer or a cocktail named after him will definitely make him feel celebrated.
  1. Memory Lane Centerpieces: Instead of traditional flowers, make centerpieces out of items that represent memorable moments with Dad. Maybe it's shells from a beach trip or a framed photo from last year’s Father’s Day. Each piece can spark a beloved memory and add more warmth to the gathering.
