"As a community-focused non-profit, The Nashville Food Project (TNFP) is partnering with Culinary Creator Vivek Surti for pop-ups at its West Nashville location and is also organizing a virtual 10th Anniversary Picnic Party fundraiser; a portion of the pop-up proceeds benefit TNFP’s mission. For the anniversary, the meals team is preparing picnic baskets for two (vegan, chicken, or beef) stuffed with items like fried spiced chicken tenders with Alabama white sauce or smoked beef brisket, roasted garden vegetables, biscuits with tomato jam, proper pimento cheese, and mini pies or TNFP “compost” cookies, plus beer and seltzer from Lipman Brothers; baskets are $50 for two and access to the virtual show (including bluegrass sensation Justin Hiltner and a 10th-anniversary video screening) is $20. The first 75 baskets also include napkins made by the Catholic Charities Sewing Training Academy at McGruder Family Resource Center, where TNFP stewards a community garden." - Eater
