Gorgeous platters of charcuterie for hosting holiday parties—or just treating yourself over the festive season.
Besides being extremely Instagram-worthy (yes, you have to document everything), charcuterie is also the ideal food for connecting with others. What better canvas for solid conversation than salami?
These local spots are serving up some very beautiful boards and boxes, which you can carry out or have delivered to your cozy Christmas movie marathon. Bring your own wine. Maybe make it mulled. It is the holidays after all.
