Picnic food: delis & markets — Napa Valley

Deli & market

Yountville

Addendum is the seasonal takeout offshoot of Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc in Yountville, known for boxed lunches of Ad Hoc's buttermilk fried chicken plus chicken and pulled-pork sandwiches that travel well to a picnic or can be eaten in the garden. It was closed for the season at the time of research; Ad Hoc's 'BFC To-Go' fried chicken can be ordered online.
