South Point Grocery’s Guide to your 901 Valentine’s Day at Home
So you forgot to make Valentine’s Day reservations, or maybe you just don’t want to worry about fighting the restaurant crowds. Either way, we’ve got the perfect solution for a cozy and memorable date night at home with goodies from us at South Point Grocery. Forget the hustle and bustle. Let’s talk about how to bring the 901 to your kitchen and living room!
First things first—let’s set the mood by cranking up that V-Day playlist. Bonus points if you add Memphis artists! Now, no date night is complete without a bouquet of fresh flowers! At South Point Grocery, we proudly source our blooms from local favorites like Barefoot Bouquets. Not only do they smell and look amazing, they are sure to have your loved one blushing!
Now for arguably the most important part, the Menu! Your menu below is broken up by course, ensuring your shopping trip is a breeze.
The Appetizer
Chips and Dip: Use Arbo’s Cheese Dip, Memphis’ favorite queso that’s creamy, tangy, and comforting. Pair it with our favorite: Las Delicias Chips. When Las Delicias began offering their famous chips to local groceries, the 901 went crazy! For good reason, because they’ve managed to make the perfect chip that is crispy, airy, and maintains the perfect scoopability.
Charcuterie: Start with a Memphis-inspired charcuterie board, featuring locally-sourced cheeses and meats, and add a container of Tom’s Tiny Kitchen Pimento Cheese alongside it. Pair this with fresh fruit and local preserves, and this app is perfect to nibble on while sipping your favorite wine.
Spinach Dip: Don’t skip out on trying Imagine’s Vegan Spinach Dip. It’s so creamy and delicious, you wouldn’t know there isn’t real cream and cheese in it!
The Main Course:
Steak: We all know a homemade steak is better than the steakhouse, anyway. Home Place Pastures has locally sourced and certified humane beef. Their meats are ideal for grilling or roasting, ensuring a high-quality main course.
Vegetarian: Lucchesi’s has tons of flatbread options in our grab-and-go section, stocked up with your favorite local classics. Consider grabbing Veggie, Cheese, or Margherita and for a fun twist add on some extra veggies and toppings yourself!
Sides:
Grecian Gourmet stocks their Orzo Pasta Salad, as well as their Chickpea Salad in our grab-and-go coolers. Both are so light and refreshing and perfect as a side to accompany your meal.
Salad: Crisp, fresh, and full of flavor, a salad is an essential, because every great meal deserves a little green. Bounty of the Earth Fresh Veggies is your local farmer’s market offering fresh, organic vegetables.
Dessert:
A little sweet treat to wrap up your evening is a MUST on Valentine’s Day! Try Makeda’s Cookies, famous for their rich, buttery flavor. Peach Cobbler from The Pie Lovers Bakery is a classic southern delicacy made right here in the 901. Elise Dessert Co. Banana Pudding and Cookie Puddings taste just like your mama used to make!
