For 18 years living in Brooklyn apartments, I was constantly confronted with a sad reality: I had no grill and no smart way to grill vegetables indoors — until that day that I was flipping through the Milk Street catalogue and I discovered the Közmatik.

Philadelphia and New Orleans are two cities that have much in common — namely, deep affection for sandwiches and regularly pole-greasing to half-heartedly prevent people from climbing them.

Photo: Food & Wine / Getty Images It was my own fault that the Man Fork landed on my doorstep. I was talking too big a game at the soft opening of my friend’s Italian restaurant Scampi. I was loose and chatting with pals, a little too sure of myself. My friend, the chef-owner Liz Grothe, had selected forks for the restaurant and they had only three tines. They were elegant.

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers Cake is a perfect gift for anyone in your life for basically any occasion, as long as that person likes and can eat cake. (There are plenty of vegan and gluten-free options for mail order, too.) It’s particularly nice when those recipients live too far away from you to just pop by with a home-baked treat. Birthday? Send them a cake. Engagement? Go ahead and ship a cake. Death in the family?
