To accompany the steak dinner, Mimi's says merci mon pere for Dad's generous pearls of wisdom by asking fans to share their best "Dad-isms." Fans can share their "Dad-isms" such as "morning comes early" and "keep your eye on the ball" along with a photo of them and their Dad to Mimi's Cafe's website at www.mimiscafe.com/MerciToDad.aspx for a chance to win a $50 Mimi's gift card.
