Janna Morton No blade? No problem You’ve probably seen them: twee little videos of people cutting cakes at picnics by plunging wineglasses straight into them. The method guarantees a neat individual cup of cake (great for COVID-conscious picnics, and no doubt partly why the trend picked up in 2020 ); plus, it’s cute and looks good on camera. But let’s say you’re envisioning a summer’s worth of picnics and cakes to go with them: Is cutting your cake with a wineglass actually a good idea? Though she hasn’t tried it personally, cake maker Clio Goodman of New York’s ByClio bakery loves the idea (and the videos). “For people who don’t like sharing or are germophobic or just want their own slice, it’s really cute and easy,” she says. “You could drink your wine and when it’s done, just turn your glass upside down and cut the cake.” Nicola Collie, who runs the aptly named California microbakery Picnic Baked Goods , is less of a fan. The method not only compresses the cake and frosting, ...

In these cases and so many others, it must be American cheese, our collective shorthand for a perfectly creamy melt. American cheese is not a quality product. In fact, its lack of quality is often the point, a grand embrace of the lowbrow and cheap that is the cornerstone of so much comfort food.

Lille Allen/Eater They’re the antidote to the soggy picnic lunch, and they look cute, too When I was a kid, my family had a membership at what could be described in only the most generous sense as a “country club.” There were no golf courses or fancy cafes for lunch — just a swimming pool with a questionably constructed water slide, a couple of cracked tennis courts, and some vending machines. But my brother and I were never allowed to eat from those vending machines because my mom always packed us a cooler full of stupid, soggy sandwiches. It was this experience that largely shaped my no-sandwich approach to leisurely outdoor activities later in life. I do not want to eat a cold, mushy sandwich, especially now that I am an adult with the ability to make my own choices. But when I’m headed to a picnic or on a vacation to one of our country’s great national parks, I understand their utility. Sandwiches are portable, inexpensive, and easy to prepare. (And, when properly constructed ...
