The only thing I could see adding to this would be a nice vichyssoise. I found one here. http://www.chefmorgan.com/green-vegetable-vichyssoise
Menu: A Summer Comfort Picnic
By Anna Stockwell
The hearty flavors of Southern-inspired comfort food take on a certain lightness when served chilled. This menu, great for a gathering of six to eight, is for eating with your hands: spread your blanket out in the warm evening sun and linger until the fireflies flash in the dark. Toast with chilled Lambrusco (it's our favorite summer sparkling red) and tuck in to a meal of spicy-sweet corn bread, mustardy slaw, classic cold fried chicken, and dense, rich brownies.
The Menu
- Blue Cheese Dip
- Crudités
- Piquant Corn Bread
- Fried Chicken
- Tennessee-Style Mustard Coleslaw
- Katharine Hepburn's Brownies
- Chilled Lambrusco, such as NV Lambrusco di Sorbara, "Vecchia Modena" Chiarli
