Holiday Entertaining Made Easy
The holiday season is all about bringing people together, and nothing gets a gathering started like a beautifully arranged charcuterie board. With various meats, cheeses, fruits, and other delicious treats, grazing boards offer a festive, convenient way to entertain.
According to Dave Hess, owner of Graze Craze, a family-owned Brookfield charcuterie business, grazing boards offer more than just delicious food.
“It’s the wow factor,” says Hess. “People gather around it and talk about what they want to try first. It brings people together in a unique way and gets them talking about things they probably would never talk about before.”
Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving, a holiday open house, or a wine night with friends, Graze Craze offers options for every occasion. The popular Classic board features meats, cheeses, and colorful accompaniments, while the seasonal Holiday board adds festive touches like house-made jams and peppermint bark.
Plan Your Perfect Spread
When choosing a board, consider your guest count and whether charcuterie will serve as an appetizer or a larger part of the meal, says Hess. Graze Craze offers sizes ranging from individual portions to larger boards serving up to 20 guests as appetizers. Premium boards feature double the meat and cheese for a heartier spread, while sweet boards offer a delicious dessert option.
The team can also accommodate ingredient substitutions and certain dietary restrictions with advance notice.
Spend Less Time Preparing, More Time Celebrating
Graze Craze uses Boar's Head meats and cheeses, fresh produce, and house-made dips and sauces to create colorful, flavorful arrangements.
Hess recommends placing holiday orders early, ideally at least 24 hours in advance. With convenient pickup and delivery options, hosts can spend less time preparing and more time enjoying family and friends.
