This Father's Day, give dad the gift of gourmet grilling with Snake River Farms
Every year it happens. Father's Day rolls around, and somehow, dads across the country end up unwrapping the same recycled gifts — yet another tie, a novelty mug, a 'World's Best Dad' keychain.
Cute? Sure. Memorable? Not in the slightest.
Let's be honest: Dad doesn't want another trinket. He wants something that speaks his language. Think: grill marks, sizzling fat, perfectly marbled cuts of meat. This year, it's time we all give him something he actually wants: Snake River Farms.

Let's get one thing straight. Snake River Farms isn't your average meat delivery company; it's the gold standard. Consider it the top shelf, the kind of meat that chefs write love letters to. If your dad is the type who lives for Sunday grilling rituals, who has High-Level Opinions about sear marks and reverse searing and treats his smoker like a shrine, then this is the gift he deserves.
And, Snake River Farms is making it absurdly easy to nail Father's Day this year. With a trio of expertly curated grilling boxes, they've taken the guesswork — and frankly, the mediocrity — out of gift-giving. This isn't just a steak in the mail. This is a statement: Dad, I see you. I appreciate your culinary genius. And here's $300 worth of American Wagyu to prove it.
For a limited time, receive a free Grilling Pack including Smoked Beef Sausage and two Snake River Farms Ground Beef (1 pound) on orders of $225 or more with promo code GRILLTIME. Offer ends on May 22.
Snake River Farms
Let's talk about the boxes. First up: the Just a Taste Grilling Box. This is a *playground* of protein. You'll receive Wagyu burgers, Wagyu hot dogs, a flank steak, bacon and Gulf shrimp. It's like a backyard cookout and a seafood boil had a beautiful, delicious baby.
This is the perfect 'starter pack' for the dad who loves variety, or who simply can't decide what he wants to grill first.
Snake River Farms
Then there's the SRF Bestsellers Box. Here, we have Kurobuta-frenched pork chops, American Wagyu ground beef, SRF Gold Filet Mignon (2 4-ounce pieces), American Wagyu hot dogs (1 pound) and a Snake River Farms Gold Ribeye Filet (6-ounce).
It's a mixtape of greatest hits, and every track rocks.
Snake River Farms
But the crown jewel? The Griller's Pack. This is for the dad who has earned his stripes. Inside, you'll find two Gold ribeyes, two filet mignons, Wagyu hot dogs, Wagyu burger patties (you even have steak seasoning!) It's a box of decadence, the kind of meat that demands reverence — and a glass of bourbon on the side.
Let's be honest, Father's Day has become something of a phoned-in holiday. It's a day where we all go through the motions and give dad a handshake and a half-hearted, 'Thanks for everything.' But, that's not what dads want. They want fire, smoke and something worth throwing on the grill. Essentially, they want Snake River Farms.
It's not just about eating, either; it's about giving Dad a moment. That quiet backyard evening. A steak that cuts like butter. The smell of real charcoal. The satisfaction of nailing the cook on a $90 ribeye. These are the moments that matter, and this brand delivers your memories to your dad's doorstep.
Plus, let's not ignore the presentation. These aren't sad, shrink-wrapped cuts flung into a Styrofoam cooler. These bundles are packed to impress. When dad opens that box, (1) he'll get excited and (2) he'll know he's holding something special.
This Father's Day, say no to the cliches, and say yes to sizzling Wagyu, to thick-cut pork chops, to shrimp that snap with flavor. Say yes to Snake River Farms. Because Dad doesn't want a gift. He wants this.

New Yorker writer who trashed Sydney Sweeney, deletes social media after anti-White posts resurface
"New Yorker Staffer Slammed for Anti-White Posts After Sydney Sweeney Attack" A New Yorker staff writer rushed to scrub her social media last week after users resurfaced old controversial tweets in response to her article criticizing actress Sydney Sweeney, which described the star as an "Aryan Princess." Doreen St. Félix deleted her X account after critics began sharing her old posts, the New York Post reported. These posts — some of them more than a decade old — included statements like, "I hate white men," and that "white capitalism" is the "reason the earth is in peril." The unearthing of St. Félix's old posts happened in response to an August 2 New Yorker article she penned in which she condemned Sweeney's American Eagle jeans ad. "The allusion is incoherent, unless, of course, we root around for other meanings, and we don't have to search for long: genes, referring to Sweeney's famously large breasts; genes, referring to her whiteness," St. Félix wrote, referencing the ad's tagline, "Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans." "The American Eagle campaign, its presentation of Americana as a zombie slop of mustangs, denim, and good genes, is lowest-common-denominator stuff," St. Félix continued. "Sweeney, on the precipice of totalizing fame, has an adoring legion, the most extreme of whom want to recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess." When Swenney's ad for American Eagle was released, it was met with backlash from some progressives and mainstream media critics who accused the ad of promoting "whiteness" and linked the campaign to the "eugenics movement." After coming across St. Félix's article, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Christopher Rufo took screenshots of the staff writer's old social media posts and published them to his X account. "Shocker, the author of the insane New Yorker article about Sydney Sweeney is an outright anti-white racist," he wrote. Many of the old posts derided White people. In a 2014 post, St. Félix wrote, "I hate white men. You all are the worst. Go nurse your f------ Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women." As Rufo continued sharing her old posts to his more than 800,000 followers, he shared a screenshot of her having deleted her account in response to the backlash. "Doreen St. Félix, the New Yorker writer who says that white people 'fill [her] with a lot of hate' and believes that whites are genetically predisposed to causing plagues, has deleted her account," he wrote. After calling out The New Yorker for not denouncing the writer, Rufo also shared that the outlet had blocked him on X. St. Félix and The New Yorker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

From cowboy to sushi chef to social media star, Tetsuya Nakao is doing it ‘Asanebo style'
On a recent Sunday afternoon, Tetsuya Nakao — the affable, upbeat 62-year-old Asanebo sushi chef with slicked silver hair — is filming one of his soon-to-be viral videos. Cheeky, occasionally unhinged and released nearly every day, they've garnered the Studio City legend a new fandom that's changed Nakao's life and his business, possibly forever. Nakao is flanked by cameras at a makeshift cooking station at the center of his restaurant. He seamlessly bounces between Japanese and English as he speaks to his staff while topping his crispy-rice 'pizza' with Wagyu slices, caviar, uni and gold dust. The dish won't be served at his restaurant, but it could be shared by millions of fans. He dusts so much edible gold over the top it looks like the 'pizza' passed through the glitter aisle at a craft store, a dish truly made for the eye of the algorithm. A cameraman readies the boom mic to catch the crunching sounds from his first bite. They throw out line suggestions: 'Better than Pizza Hut,' 'Better than Domino's,' 'I'm the real Papa John.' (They settle on the last one, after deciding they probably won't get sued.) In one video he deep-fries a Labubu. In another, he plays Jenga with raw Wagyu. Playful and regularly ending with the signature phrase 'Asanebo style,' Nakao's videos have captured a social media audience that's turned the stalwart sushi spot into an international destination. 'We've had customers flying from all over the world,' says general manager Kunio Kaji, an employee of roughly 16 years and a driving force behind Asanebo's videos. 'We have people who came on a private jet from Japan just to see him. … It's to a point where he's known. It's not like back in the day, when he was just in the back peeling onions. He's a star.' They started the restaurant's Instagram account with 4,000 followers. Now they've amassed more than 1.1 million fans on that platform, and more than 950,000 on TikTok. Nakao reluctantly agreed to appear online. In the wake of a pandemic, entertainment industry strikes, rising operating costs and wildfires, they needed a new way to advertise the business. It also introduced him — a chef who preferred to work behind the scenes — to the world. 'The whole point was me trying to get him out of his shell that he was in,' says Kaji, who also appears in the videos. 'I told him I had this vision, and if this really works, I think it not only will draw more people to come in, but everyone's going to recognize him for who he is and what he has accomplished for 34 years.' Nakao's sons, 19 and 22, watch the videos religiously. His wife, he says, never mentions them. The team films on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons before dinner service, anywhere from three to seven videos each day. Today they're shooting a cooking ASMR — the most popular but also time consuming — as well as two 'relatables': silly, trend-inspired sketches that often involve Kaji and the chefs. Between shoots it feels a little like a green room before a play. Staff change into costumes. One dons a long, blond wig. They quickly run through the sketches, the blocking and their lines. Two members of Nakao's team say that while there are many food videos vying for attention in the world, there is only one Nakao, and he's the secret to their success. Now he's approached for photos at the grocery store or at dinner with his family. They ask, 'Excuse me, are you Asanebo?' 'I never expected it,' Nakao says of his newfound stardom. 'I started the Instagram at 61; I didn't know what Instagram is! Like, you know, TikTok? 'What is the TikTok?'' 'He thought it was a Tic Tac,' Kaji laughs. 'I said, 'It's an app.' He said, 'App? What's an app?'' It's a far cry from the pastoral cowboy life Nakao imagined he'd lead. When the rugged appeal of the Marlboro Man caught his eye, Tokyo-born-and-raised Nakao flew to San Luis Obispo in 1982 to work on a family friend's ranch. ('I thought, 'Wow' — that's a man! I want to be like this.') Unable to wake up early enough to work the land and tend the cattle, he was fired after only a month and a half. Nearly a decade later it would inspire the name of his own restaurant, 'Asanebo,' which translates to 'sleepyhead' or 'late riser.' He moved to Los Angeles to find a new career and, only able to say 'yes,' 'no' and 'thank you' in English, trawled the local Japanese newspapers to find a job. He started as a dishwasher at a restaurant in Marina del Rey, and soon after was transferred to the sushi station. It was there, at O-Sho, that he met Nobu Matsuhisa. Before he became one of the world's most famous sushi masters and founded upscale chain Nobu, Matsuhisa took Nakao under his wing, as well as Nakao's younger brother, Shin Sushi chef-owner Shin Nakao. The three worked together at O-Sho, and then at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, before the Nakao brothers left to begin Asanebo. Shin departed in 2000, while Tetsuya remained. The popularity grew steadily over the decades, especially with locals and celebrities; today, Bruno Mars is waiting patiently outside for the doors to open. But the largest jump in sales, Kaji says, came from Nakao's new online stardom. They estimate business has increased 20% to 30%. When the initiative began last April, Nakao never wanted to touch the ornate and outrageous dishes that garner the most views, likes and follows. For nearly all of his career the man wouldn't offer rolls made with now-ubiquitous mayonnaise or sriracha. He never imagined he'd make sushi inspired by the video game 'Minecraft.' But after a few attempts, Nakao realized he could do both: serve the classics at the restaurant, and the over-the-top online. It's helped him become more flexible as a chef: Now he does serve mayonnaise-laced hand rolls and spicy tuna, though he still refuses to make sushi rolls featuring rice on the exterior; it wouldn't do his imported Japanese seaweed justice. His exacting parameters haven't stopped legions of fans from requesting his video items at Asanebo, which the team politely declines to make. And Nakao's popularity hasn't stopped blowback from sushi purists. 'There were comments and direct messages saying, 'What are you doing? You're a sushi chef, you're not supposed to be doing this,'' Kaji said. 'People are commenting, 'You've gone mad.'' They hurt the chef's feelings on a deeply personal level. He grew to understand that this is par for the course when existing on the internet. Now, Nakao says, he simply never reads the comments. Back at the center of the intimate, wood-accented sushi bar, before Nakao takes a bite of his 'pizza,' a camera operator reminds him to flash his signature thumbs-up and say the tagline heard 'round the world: 'Asanebo style!' They breeze through two more videos before wrapping up the day's social media shoots. Maybe next time, they say, Nakao should riff on skincare, rubbing uni and other ingredients on his face as if part of a nighttime routine? Or maybe they should make another video with jumbo clams? They decide to table the decision for another day, turning their attention to dinner service. After all, they're still running one of the city's favorite sushi restaurants and Bruno Mars is waiting.
