Curtis Stone will open a new restaurant and market at the Grove called Picnic Society by Gwen, inspired by his Hollywood butcher shop. The restaurant, located in the former Dominique Ansel Bakery space, is scheduled to open on Sept. 14.
“This opportunity came up with a beautifully built-out kitchen and a big patio and terrace area,” Stone said. “I thought what if we lean into a picnic concept that encourages people and gives them the option to social distance?”Since the pandemic, Stone said, there has been an increased demand for the charcuterie, rillets and terrines at Gwen.
You can build your own picnic basket or order a pre-made basket along with miniature tables, blankets and cutlery. The idea is to either picnic at the restaurant, in the large grassy area by the fountain at the Grove, or at home.“We are pioneering a new concept and dining format that can be enjoyed by all, both on our property and all over our city,” Caruso said.
