It feels like summer is here already, and picnic season is well underway. Here are the top ten things to include in your Memphis picnic basket.
1. Pimento Cheese: try Tom's Tiny Kitchen, Holiday Deli, or Porcellino's.
2. Fried Chicken: Gus's, Uncle Lou's, Cash Saver, and Super Lo for the win. Read more about Memphis fried chicken here.
3. Sandwiches: you can't go wrong with Chinese Sub Shop or Fino's.
4. Fruits and veggies: Pick up something food for you at a local farmers market.
5. Chips: go for Nikki's Hot Ass Chips or Brim's.

6. Charcuterie: Porcellino's Craft Butcher has you covered. See also: their pricey but delicious pastries.
7. Local beer: go here to see a list of places to get your growler filled.
8. Craft sodas: Snag some at Sweet Noshings.
9. Butter cookies: Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies from Frost Bake Shop or Makeda's Butter Cookies (available at Kroger).
10. Candy: Shotwell's Caramels are decadent, but won't be as melty as chocolate.
