In the movie Elf, Buddy tells the fake Santa Claus at Gimbels, “You smell like beef and cheese.” Well, for today’s Monday Morning Coffee, we can’t think of a better smell. Beef and cheese, among many other delicious things, make the best snacks for events filled with dozens of hungry attendees. And one local business owner is taking beef and cheese to a whole new level. Introducing… The Charcuterie Queen.

Charcuterie is a French word that literally means “the art of preparing and preserving meat.” But charcuterie in its American form stretches far beyond just beef, pork and sausage. A charcuterie table is a full-blown masterpiece featuring vegetables, crackers, cheeses, meats, fruits, chocolates and much more. Seeing a well-stocked charcuterie table stirs a bit of excitement, leading to an array of symptoms, including a lot of mouth-watering and even more smiling. A great charcuterie board appeases both the stomach and the eyes, and The Charcuterie Queen knows exactly how to do that.

Business owner Morgan Knadler has been specializing in creating unique, eye-catching charcuterie arrangements for almost two years. She curates snack tables that feel elevated without ever feeling overdone, helping each event level up in a natural way. While charcuterie is ultimately about sharing delicious food, it’s also an art form, and Morgan approaches it with care, creativity and intention. One glance at The Charcuterie Queen’s arrangements and you’ll want to be first in line to try every variety.

Morgan specializes in offering charcuterie tables for corporate events, weddings, birthdays and more. Just about any occasion where you need to feed a bunch of people, she’s got you covered. Her arrangements are mouthwateringly delicious and downright beautiful… if you’re the kind of person that describes food as such (we absolutely are). So next time you’re feeding a large group, or just want to smell like the fake Gimbels Santa Claus, check out The Charcuterie Queen on Facebook to start planning your next spread.
