Blame it on Instagram, but a vibrant charcuterie board —those artfully arranged foods (insert grazing tables, brunch goodies, candy, and veggies)—is now an entertaining staple at any celebration. And it’s easy to see why—these one-hit wonders cover all the bases, from food to decor to being the most photographed at a party. But getting a ‘gram-worthy board is not an easy feat, so it might be best to leave it to the pros during this busy holiday season. Here are 20 local NJ places that serve up a board for all your holiday social feeds—in person and otherwise. And if you are looking to round out your holiday meal, visit a turkey farm in NJ for turkey and all the fixings. (feature photo credit: istock/Roxiller)
