The Summer Spread
The sun’s out, the blanket’s down, and the ants are (hopefully) staying in their lane—it’s picnic season, and we’re doing it right. This summer, we’re skipping the soggy sandwiches and uninspired pasta salads in favor of a lineup that’s fresh, flavorful, and ready to impress. Whether your vibe is Classic American, breezy Mediterranean, or bold Asian-inspired bites, we’ve got a little something for every kind of al fresco feast.
Think heirloom tomato salads and bright citrus bowls, soba noodles slick with spicy peanut sauce, tortellini that’s as easy to eat as it is to transport, and yes—brownies that’ll outshine even the best sunset view. It’s all about food that travels well, tastes even better outdoors, and just might steal the show from your checked blanket and portable speaker.
So grab a basket, pack your favorites, and let’s turn your next park hang into a full-on flavor fest.
Classic American
The Classic American picnic lineup is all about nostalgic favorites with a sunny twist. Think juicy marinated tomatoes, golden wheat berries tossed with peaches, and salads that actually hold up in the heat. There’s a BLT that went to Caesar salad school, gooey bake sale brownies, and chocolate peanut butter krispie treats that never make it back home. It’s comfort food with a summer state of mind—easy to love, even easier to pack.
Mediterranean Style
The Mediterranean spread is breezy, bold and made for long afternoons in the shade. You’ve got flaky Cacio e Pepe palmiers, lemony grains with roasted veg, and salads that are equal parts crunch and color. There’s pizza crowned with mortadella and burrata, a sandwich that’s basically a Roman holiday between two slices of bread and an apricot tart that tastes like sunshine. It’s a picnic with passport energy—no boarding pass required.
Asian Nosh
The Asian-inspired spread doesn’t hold back. It’s got cold noodles slicked in peanut sauce with just enough kick, cabbage slaw that stays sharp long after the ice melts and a chicken salad that’s more herb garden than deli counter. There’s a jambon beurre with a side of kimchi attitude, miso blondies that lean salty-sweet and a matcha mochi cake that somehow keeps its bounce even after the third park lap. This isn’t a dainty little lineup—it’s layered, textured and totally unbothered by the heat.
