(Fort Worth, TX) – Garry Hubbard, General Manager of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood at Museum Place, has announced that Eddie V’s will again offer its pre-packaged, three-course summer picnic dinners to go from Friday, May 27, 2011 through Monday, July 4, 2011 to coincide with Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra’s Concerts in the Garden Summer Music Festival at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and other special outdoor events across the area.

    “Our ‘Moveable Feast’ dinners were very well received last year, so we’re doing it again,” said Mr. Hubbard. “With Eddie V’s right at the heart of the Fort Worth Cultural District, it makes it easy to call ahead, order a picnic, and pick up te dinners en route to any occasion.

    ”With the FWSO’s Festival location at the Botanic Gardens less than a mile away, it makes perfect sense to provide our exceptional fare for arts patrons, no matter where their summer nights take them.”

    Fort Worth Eddie V’s Executive Chef Don Agate agrees.

    ”Everyone loves a summer picnic, so it’s been fun to create dinners that translate the high standards of Eddie V’s cuisine to a time-honored American tradition,” he said. “Great food, beautiful atmosphere, live performance, and the company of good friends and family are what it’s all about.”

    Eddie V’s picnics will be available an extra day the weekend of June 24 to provide picnics to those attending Ballet Concerto’s Summer Dance Concert performances at Trinity Park Pavilion June 23 – June 25.

    “Our patrons have really enjoyed our Moveable Feast picnics for all their summer outdoor activities, and we anticipate that the Eddie V’s picnics will become a part of many traditions, like Cats games tailgates and other summer fun,” continued Mr. Hubbard.

    Pricing for a picnic dinner is $25. Customizable from a set of savory options, picnic-goers will be able to choose one from each of the following three categories:
