Grilling gifts for Father's Day

Butcher's Bible The butcher-authors of the new Lobel's Meat Bible will teach Dad how to tell rump roast from a top round, cook up true Texas chili and master the art of making beef jerky at home. And if he's interested in offal, he'll love the chapter on what these multigenerational butchers call "variety meats" ($40 at lobels.com).

Space-Saving Skewers Replace Pop's rusty kebab sticks with a better, bendy grilling accessory: the Fire Wire. These long, cable-style skewers (pictured) are highly flexible and allow users to coil them into a bowl of marinade or tuck them into the unused edges of the grill ($20 for four at amazon.com).

Mail-Order Meat Top Northwest chefs like Portland, Oregon's Gabriel Rucker and Seattle's Ethan Stowell source their meat from sustainably-minded distributor Nicky USA. Browse the company's online catalog for hard-to-find game birds, free-range buffalo and Oregon-raised beef and lamb, then call to order Dad his favorite cuts. Or go big and buy him a whole goat (800-469-4162 or nickyusa.com).
