From Karen Young's MyDailyFind.com.

a Studio City “hands on” cooking school for all ages has a great deal of delicious fun happening this summer.  Take advantage of the June promotion — buy one cooking lesson and get another for half-price (doesn’t apply to series classes).  Could be a fun and different Father’s Day or graduation present! Upcoming  one time classes include sushi, pizza making, artisan bread making, different ethnic cuisines and more.  Also to note, there’s a three-part weekly cooking basics series starting June 21 highlighting Stocks and Sauces; Vegetable Cookery, Grains and Starches; and Sauteeing, Braising, Roasting, & Grilling.  In July, there’s a teen series in July for ages 9-17 all about cooking basics.  CookLA is also a great place for parties for all ages and for company team building. 

is celebrating Father’s Day with their “Burger for Dad” special. Stop by any The Counter location and tell your server that your dad, grandpa or dad-like figure needs a  BFD and he’ll get a 1/3 lb. burger and toppings FREE if you buy a meal for yourself.

in Studio City is giving all dads a FREE pint of beer on Sunday in addition to their regular brunch and dinner menus.
