If you're anything like me, sometimes it's nice to have smaller bites to eat when visiting a restaurant, instead of a huge entree. Or, perhaps you'd like to share an appetizer with one or more people, but a big platter of fried food isn't what you've got in mind. This is where the beloved charcuterie board shines.
