Grab your friends and pick a park or just plan to meet up after work in your own backyard to celebrate Bastille Day like the French do, with a picnic for two . . . or four or six or eight depending on the size your group. Leave the cooking (and cleaning) to us, while you enjoy a breezy summer evening celebrating this national holiday in France with dinner and drinks prepared by us.

Our Bastille Day picnic bags include curated drinks and dishes prepared by members of the Les Dames d’Escoffier Kansas City chapter. We have pulled together a collection of the most amazing women from Kansas City’s food and drink scene to create a memorable picnic for two to help raise money for our Educational Fund supporting women in the field of the culinary arts.
