Forget lugging those coolers, grills and volleyball nets across lawns and beaches. Picnic People San Diego not only stakes out idyllic gathering spots, but pulls together all of the essentials for creating picnics tailored for groups of 50 people or more. The company, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, has grown to include a modern 6,000-square-foot kitchen headed by Executive Chef Keith Lord. In addition to providing burgers, dogs and a variety of other picnic fare, the offerings extend also to games, inflatable slides and Moon-bounces, as well as team building activities for corporate clients. Setup and cleanup are included in the services, so at the end of the day the only item you need to tote home are your sunglasses.
