Mario Batali: Alfresco Family Feast “My fave thing for Father's Day is to have a nice brunch or late lunch with my two boys, ages 14 and 15, and my wife,” says the orange-clogged super-chef of New York’s Eataly, Del Posto, and a flock of other eateries and partnerships. “We usually do it in Aspen, but this year I think we will take the East River Ferry and do it at the Brooklyn Flea.” With dozens of food and drink items to choose from—including tacos, lobster rolls, porchetta, handmade sodas, fair-trade coffee, and ice pops—there's enough at this popular market to fuel a nice brunch and a late lunch.
