This post is brought to you through a partnership with Carrabba’s restaurants.
Carrabba’s is celebrating Father’s Day in a big way!
Have you heard of Carrabba’s? It is one of our favorites! Here is some background about this family favorite!
Food, you see, isn’t only about food. It’s not some big secret. It’s something that just happens when all of our interconnected families get together-the Carrabbas and the Mandolas, plus anybody with enough good sense to marry in. You may be poor, went the saying a mere generation ago, but you’ll never be hungry.
Food is part of us because that’s how we were raised; food was present at births, christenings, weddings, graduations and funerals. Food is what reminded us we were family. To this day, whenever one family member meets another and starts talking about something or someplace, the first question has to be, “Whadya eat?”
Over Father’s Day weekend (June 16-18), Carrabba’s will be offering a “spend $50, get $50” gift card promotion. Guests who purchase a $50 gift card in the restaurant will receive $50 in additional Bonus Cards. (Guests do NOT have to dine at the restaurant to purchase the $50 gift/$50 bonus cards.)

i have a husband that rocks and a dad that rocks. my dad is awesome because he takes care of the whole family. my husband rocks because he is the best thing that ever happened to me, so inspirational and encouraging.
My dad……the funniest guy I ever met! When he’s in the room, everyone is smiling or laughing.
My husband is a caring and wonderful person. He rocks because he’s such a gentle soul. Never speaks bad about anyone. My Dad rocks because he’s a great role model for my kids and myself.

My husband is so amazing. He works so hard at his full time job while going to school full time and still being an amazing husband and father.
My dad rocked because he put family first, always. He was a selfless man, who lived to please those he cared most about. He couldn’t rest until he knew the ones he loved were okay. He strove for perfection at home and at work. Work-life balance was very important to him, but if missing time with his loved ones meant a better life for them, he was always game to put in the overtime and take one for the team. Words like “no,” “can’t,” and “impossible,” were just not in his vocabulary, and when he heard others use them, it only increased his devotion to the task at hand.
My Dad rocks because he is knowledgeable about so many things such as finances and life advice!
I have neither a father nor husband.
My husband knows when to be strong and when to be gentle. He believes that love is the answer to everything and everyone.
