Welcome back to Forum. I'm Alexis Madrigal. Now time for something totally different.

There's no better time than now to head out for a picnic. A few weather impediments here in the Bay Area.

And if the pandemic taught us anything, it's that enjoying life outdoors is a good way to go.

So whether you're just having a sunset cocktail or mottale or going

full-on three-course meal, we want to talk to you about how to picnic in style. And we'd like

your tips. What's your go-to picnic recipe? What are your favorite Bay Area spots to bring

the family or friends for an all fresco meal? So give us a call now. 866-733-6786. That's 866-733-6.

You can also get in touch on Twitter and Facebook. We're at KQD Forum, or you can email your

questions to forum at kQED.org. And of course, we are bringing you an expert on this topic as well.

We'd like to welcome

San Francisco Chronicle Restaurant Critic Soleil Ho to the show. Welcome.
