San Diego, California (release-news.) January 20, 2020 - Catering and special events company, Picnic People, has expanded their corporate catering kitchen capacity from 5,000 sq. ft to 12,000 sq. ft. This expansion will allow the company to better serve the catering and event needs of San Diego companies. Founder and Owner of Picnic People, Lisa Richards, said this about the completion of the project:

"Picnic People's focus is to expand and improve our offerings by concentrating on new smoking and seasoning techniques. To accommodate the new equipment required to accomplish this goal, we needed to expand our kitchen footprint for corporate catering in San Diego."

Picnic People specialize in planning and producing every detail of corporate, collegiate and social events - serving groups of 50 to 50,000+ guests. Located in the Miramar area of San Diego, the new kitchen was designed for BBQ catering in San Diego, featuring a smoke with three different kinds of smokers and a Pigout Roaster, which is mobile full hog roaster.

With over 38 years in catering experience, Lisa's new vision includes creating a collaborative culinary environment and host renowned pitmasters and BBQ chefs from around the world to create a BBQ school for San Diego.

"As a leading San Diego catering company, this year we have invested in creating new tastes at Picnic People. We're having a blast mixing up traditional BBQ recipes with new woods and smoking techniques. We could not be more blessed to have a community who is passionate about having picnics." - Lisa Richards
