The Ultimate Picnic Basket
Eat outside in style with help from Hip & Humble and Liberty Heights Fresh
Posted By Christa Zaro on June 5, 2015, 11:42 AM
It's picnic season, and you don't want to be an outsider with an Igloo cooler and outdated picnic fare. Travel lightly and in style with a colorful setup from Hip & Humble (1043 E. 900 South, 801-467-3130, @hipandhumble). The shop has it all, and in so many eye-popping colors. If you need a cute outfit, you will find one. Store manager Rachel Smith will happily help you find exactly what you need—almost like having your own personal shopper!
Liberty Heights Fresh (1290 South 1100 East, 801-583-7374, @libertyheightsfresh) is your one-stop shop for the most delectable picnic noshes. The two-decade old specialty food store, housed in a converted gas station, takes food very seriously. Steven, Wendy and the rest of the staff treat food like religion. Let them help you put together a memorable setup.
And remember, everything tastes better with cheese. And wine. Everything.
