The Best Coolers for Every Type of Summer Chiller
Whether you're packing up frankfurters for a weekend in the woods or rolling up to a pool party with brewskies to share, you're going to need some portable cold storage, aka a cooler. These days, there is a cooler for every conceivable Enneagram; the folks at Igloo have gone full Oreo, launching a bunch of vibey retro coolers in previously unseen hues and some extremely niche branded coolers, while luxury brands like Business & Pleasure have engineered an archetypal Talented Mr. Ripley -esque , sea-ready ice chest, and the same people who gave us the Ninja Swirl crafted one of the most expedition-worthy coolers the back of your SUV has ever seen. Here's what the coolest coolers out there tell the world about the people who tote them. 'My Other Car is a Ninja Cooler': The Ninja FrostVault
With its sturdy, sand-ready wheels and cavernous interior, the Ninja FrostVault is like an ATV for your many beach snacks. This massive, dad-coded cooler keeps cold cuts perfectly chilled for literal days, perfect for camping trips and other expeditions, and it includes a chilled dry zone that keeps dry stuff fridge-cold and never soggy for all your Type A packing needs.

You can't be bothered with a bunch of details. (That's for the Ninja FrostVault crowd.) You may be here for a short time, but you're definitely here for a good time, which is why you've tucked exactly three cans of Ranch Water hard seltzer and an airplane bottle of tequila in your temperature-controlled Retro Fanny Pack before donning a bucket hat and hitting the streets.

Only you, a wine rep who likes to crush grapes in quaint villages on your off time, can truly know the best bottle for every occasion. It's a gift and a burden, but fortunately, Monti's soft quilted Mayfly cooler backpack can house three of your favorites.

This is the kind of conspicuous cooler that telegraphs, 'I own a boat,' and not just because the design was, according to Business & Pleasure, 'inspired by European car designs and luxury speed boats,' though that helps. After snagging a can of Nomadica Bubbly Rosé from its roomy 35-quart interior, you can sit back on this cooler's detachable cushion and marvel at its sumptuous teak lid, glossy finish, and snazzy gold handles as you sail off into the sunset.

If you've ever gone thirsty because you refuse to dislodge yourself from your lawn chair while basting in your own sweat on a languid summer afternoon, I've got good news: This brilliant folding outdoor chair from ParkIt has a cooler built right in, so your *getting up and walking over there* days are over. Take the chair/cooler to any music festival or outdoor gathering, and you are guaranteed to make new friends whether you want them or not.

You often find yourself in bear country, and thus, you need a cooler that is not only bear-proof but also comes with a lifetime warranty just in case a grizzly tries any funny stuff. The PRO 45 Quart Canyon Cooler was built to hold a weekend's worth of food and drink for two (or an overnight's worth of stuff for four, or 15 minute's worth of food for a bear), and since it was designed for enjoying in the great outdoors where gadget multitasking is mandatory, the included cooler divider also doubles as a food-safe surface.
Prices taken at time of publishing. 'I Look Great in Jorts': The Igloo KoolTunes
Long before iTunes, there was KoolTunes. Imagine it: Billy Joel's 1989 classic 'We Didn't Start the Fire' absolutely blasting out of an Igloo Playmate cooler while you dole out Bud heavies to your Breakfast Club -looking crew of friends. Though they discontinued the original version in 1990, Igloo read the room and brought the KoolTunes back a few years ago, reestablishing it as the summer essential it truly is (and now it pairs with Bluetooth). And while we're on the topic of Igloo's fanny pack coolers, I would be doing you a disservice if I failed to mention that the brand has also designed one to look like a WWE Championship Belt for you to fill with… Slim Jims???

What to Get Your Food-Loving Dad for Father's Day
In our experience, the best food-related Father's Day gifts check some combination of feeling personal, kitsch, useful, and delicious. There is no one right way to be a father or a father-like figure, or shop for one, but it feels fair to say that our most successful Father's Day presents have either fulfilled a hyper-specific need, such as a kneeling foam pad for herb gardening, or celebrated our food-loving fathers' rituals around grilling, fishing, or making truckloads of their deceased Italian mother's marinara on Sundays. Riposa in pace , nonna! Your son has become a worthy sauce master in your stead. Father's Day falls on June 15 this year, which means you have a little over a week to smash the order button on some Snake River Farms steaks or a high-tech Ooni pizza oven. Should you seriously procrastinate, there are always two-day shipping options from Amazon Prime, and retailers such as Nordstrom provide an estimate of the soonest day an order can arrive. Plus, you can also opt for day-of, shipping-free digital gifts, such as a Southern cooking MasterClass with James Beard Award–winning chef Mashama Bailey, or a gift card to Williams Sonoma. Your dad is the best dad out of all the dads, of course, so let's find him the perfect present, whether that means something to throw on the grill (or in the Igloo cooler) or a themed apron that harkens back to his days following the Grateful Dead. These Wagyu steaks from Snake River Farms Family-operated since 1968, Snake River Farms has earned a reputation as one of the best ranch-to-table slingers in the game for the best meats you can buy, from Kurobuta pork to wild-caught seafood to dry-aged Porterhouse steak. While it's an excellent source of dad-centric gifts in general — what father wouldn't want a Smithey skillet or a custom meat subscription box? — but we're thinking that Daddy deserves some of the meat purveyor's wagyu beef, because it's a rich, marbled cross between pure Japanese wagyu and American-bred beef. This set of grill-ready fancy salts With its Grilling Trio, the highly aesthetic Oregon-based company Jacobsen Salt Co. has treated us to a holy trinity of its iconic, chef-loved sea salt, as well as an infused black pepper salt and sea salt steak seasoning with minced garlic, paprika, fennel seed, rosemary, and more dried herbs. One stainless steel frying pan to rule them all Ah, the endless versatility of a lidded, stainless steel 10-inch frying pan. There's a good chance your pops has sizzled his own to the high heavens, no? Eater collaborated with Heritage Steel to make our very own iteration, which is made with durable, high-quality, 5-ply stainless steel and given an extra half-inch of circumference, making it the reigning favorite of our fry pan rotation. A leather oven mitt Unlike that greying, striped cloth oven mitt your pops has had for years, a leather oven mitt will only look cooler as it gets a little scratched up and worn-in over the years. | Cast Leather Co. Prices taken at time of publishing. A Deadhead dad's dream apron For the father who is still a headlight on a northbound train. Several Eater staffers own Hedley & Bennett aprons, and can attest to the comfort and durability of the cotton material. The brand's collab with The Grateful Dead has spawned some of the coolest aprons money can buy. A digital picture frame for the kitchen What father doesn't love flipping flapjacks beside a digital picture frame featuring the best snapshots of his kids, grandkids, and that time you all rode horses together on Catalina Island? | Aura Prices taken at time of publishing. Ooni's cult-fave pizza oven is $269 off The Ferrari of pizza ovens. Ooni's electric indoor model is 30 percent off right now, and can cook a Neapolitan-style pizza in just 90 seconds (a fact which your pops will love explaining to his pals before watching the game). | Ooni Prices taken at time of publishing. Track down vintage John Deere drinkware There's an infinite bounty of vintage John Deere coasters, shot glasses — hell, there's even a John Deere tractor-shaped decanter — on vintage and second-hand retailer sites such as Ebay. It's like they say: you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the tractor out of his liquor cabinet. | Ebay Prices taken at time of publishing. For the pops who wants to sous vide all day Give Dad the power of preserving his precious deer meats for seasons to come, at the touch of a button. | Anova Prices taken at time of publishing. A MasterClass in cooking pasta and rice dishes (because even Dad doesn't know everything) Is it just me, or was there always a handful of track team and cross country dads who prided themselves on being able to whip up buckets of cheesy pasta dishes before a big meet? Should the dad in your life feel curious about improving their recipe portfolio, MasterClass' series on hardy pasta and rice dishes is a great way to build up their confidence in the kitchen — although there's a good chance they already have plenty. | MasterClass Prices taken at time of publishing. Starting at $10/month (billed annually) for all classes. Keep things cool with Stanley's beer stein Lest we forget, Stanley makes more than Quenchers for dirty sodas. The company's durable hunter green flasks and colorful beer steins deserve some extra TLC, especially because the latter will keep father's ambrosia of choice (who knows, maybe it's a dirty soda!) chilled for hours, whether he's just chilling on the patio, is at the Big Game, or is chilling on a fishing boat. | Stanley Prices taken at time of publishing. Soulful serving utensils Qäsa Qäsa Carvers ethically sources all of its hand-carved pieces from the talented artisans of the Makonde tribe in Mtwara, Tanzania. No two sets will look quite alike, and the mixed assortment of blackwood utensils will look just as beautiful serving up a dense bean salad or spices as it will hanging from a pot rack. | Qäsa Qäsa Prices taken at time of publishing. This coffret of worldly sausages Olympia Provisions is the United States' first-ever USDA-approved salumeria, and it has united 13 lucky sausages with flavor profiles from around the world (think, the cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg sausages of Alsace, France, and the bright citrus-kissed flavors of Greek loukanika) into this gift box for Dad. | Goldbelly Prices taken at time of publishing. Because dads deserve their flowers, too Leave it to Urban Stems, maker of my go-to Mother's Day bouquet, the Unicorn, to assemble something festive for Father's Day. This bouquet is aptly dubbed 'The Men Love Flowers,' because it's a peach rose- and golden marigold-forward bundle of optimism and energy that pops will appreciate. | Urban Stems Prices taken at time of publishing. Happy Father's Day, champ. The freshest news from the food world every day
