Yesterday I visited Feast & Graze. You’ve probably heard of the company, known for making beautiful and delicious custom charcuterie boards that can be delivered to your door for your upcoming party or event. But did you know
- Feast & Graze now has a brick-and-mortar location, at 55 S. Main, next to Ben-Yay’s. It’s part of the Open on Main initiative
- They have a grab & go, convenient for Downtowners to stop and grab something to take back to their desk
- They have small charcuterie boxes for one person, called the “Just For Me”
I got one of the Just For Me boxes yesterday and it was delicious. So much variety in that little box!
They gave me a sample of their goat cheese too.
Check out their in-store menu to see what you can get to go there. Also, the menu has the lineup of in-store sampling they’ll have next week, March 22-26, for their grand opening.
