Best Drinks, Food To Bring To A BBQ, Picnic San Francisco
If you are anything like the younger me, you might overthink what to bring to a social function you were invited to. Whether it’s a house party, bbq, picnic or similar, what you bring can work wonders for conversation starters, meeting new people or making friends. I know as I have spent 20+ years analyzing responses, reactions from gifts, drinks and snacks people have brought to social functions in the city.
Below are a few recommendations of things to bring that are relatively easily accessible across the city, across all price points at stores, farmers markets and more.
Beyond specific recommendations, you will get a better understanding of sizes, and why I recommend them i.e. time of the year, versatility and more. I will also highlight considerations, specific questions to ask based on your event, time of year, occasion and more.
The recommendations I have accumulated are a result of lots of trial and error, saying yes to nearly all social invites, amazing friends, observing reactions at snack tables at parties, diverse clients & readers, and me talking to people at bars and restaurants all over the city. Whether you get an invite to a potluck picnic, dinner party, Mexican baptism (party) or Russian toddler’s b-day celebration, there is something for everyone here.
