Is it impossible to shop for your dad? You may have racked your brain and even consulted our Father's Day Gift Guide for the perfect gift to give the man who has everything, but to no avail.

However, all is not lost. If your dad doesn't need a new tool set or has enough ties to open up his own eBay store (and make a decent profit), give him a gift that will never go out of style: food. This Father's Day, several restaurants will be offering dads across the country all sorts of treats at no extra charge. Yes, that's right — your dear papa can reap the benefits of free food just for being the wonderful father that he is!

Below, we've rounded up the best Father's Day food freebies. Unless noted, these offers are valid on June 16 only:

The Spaghetti Warehouse

Freebie: Mamma mia! Dads who dine at The Spaghetti Warehouse for lunch or dinner can enjoy a free Lasagne or Original Recipe Spaghetti via this printable coupon. Each meal also includes sourdough bread plus a choice of bottomless salad or soup. Buon appetito, padre!

Shoney's

Freebie: This family restaurant will be offering a Father's Day Buffet featuring meatloaf, ribs, garlic shrimp, and other goodies. Dads can indulge their sweet tooth with a free Hot Fudge Cake when they present this printable coupon.

Boston Market

Freebie: Tell your dad to step away from the grill and let someone else do the barbecuing for him on his special day. Redeem this printable coupon at Boston Market for a 2-for-1 BBQ Ribs Meal deal. Yes, that's two heaping helpings of ribs for the price of one. (And maybe dad will even share.)

TCBY

Freebie: If your father fancies himself a froyo aficionado, take him to a participating TCBY for a free frozen yogurt (up to a 6-oz. cup). Visit your nearest participating store for details.

Buca di Beppo

Freebie: To paraphrase a famous line from The Godfather: Leave this printable coupon; take the cannoli (at no extra cost).

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
