If Dad is the king on Father’s Day, how about a box of these chocolate heraldic shields, filled with salted caramel?

Any celebrant who appreciates fine chocolate will roar when he receives a box of such luscious chocolates, embossed with kingly lions.

The heraldic shields are crafted in extra dark chocolate by El Rey and filled with vanilla bean cream caramel and sea salt. As a finishing touch, the chocolate is brushed with edible gold.

We’re fans of Maggie Louise, who combines design flare with terrific taste and beautiful packaging.
A 6-piece gift box is $13.50.

On the brunch menu at Ruschmeyer’s Hotel in Montauk, New York, is an egg sandwich.

It’s not a humble egg sandwich, but a variation of Eggs Benedict.

One side of the toasted English muffin contains a sunnyside-up egg over melted Emmental cheese; the other side has lightly dressed baby arugula topped with poached lobster.

We’ll have two, please.

Or more likely, we’ll be heading out to buy some lobster, making be making our own version for Father’s Day, along with a garnish of salmon caviar.

The menu also features another seaside version of Eggs Benedict: poached egg, hollandaise, and chives, but replacing the Canadian bacon with blue-claw crab.

If you’re nowhere near the hotel, consider making a special brunch by whipping up your own version of both dishes.

June 4th is National Frozen Yogurt Day. Treat yourself to a pint of Oikos Greek frozen yogurt. You can print a $1.00 coupon online.

The brand recently launched a frozen yogurt line in:

 
We received pints of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla to taste. The strawberry and vanilla didn’t do much for us. There are other brands with better strawberry and vanilla flavor.

But the chocolate was most satisfactory, especially given that it’s 150 calories per four-ounce serving—a nice break from, say, Häagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream at 260 calories. It may be an apples-and-oranges comparison, but we’d go for the lower calorie option.

And the lower fat option: Frozen yogurt also has more than half the fat of regular ice cream: 2.5g versus 7g per half-cup serving, according to Dannon. Since much of that fat is saturated (cholesterol), that’s a good thing.

Finally, if you’re lactose-sensitive, the Oikos frozen yogurt line is made from lactose-reduced nonfat milk.

The line is certified kosher by OU.
