At Honeyleaf Platters, we take pride in crafting beautiful and delicious charcuterie boards and grazing tables that are perfect for any occasion. We are excited to share that Washingtonian—one of D.C.'s most respected lifestyle and food publications—recognized us as one of the top charcuterie board businesses in the DMV area in their July 2021 feature. The article highlighted the boom in custom grazing boards and charcuterie platters during the pandemic, with Honeyleaf Platters being noted for our elaborate designs and commitment to quality local ingredients.

Here’s a deeper dive into why we’re a top choice for catering in the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas:

The Pandemic Boom in Grazing Tables and Charcuterie Boards

While charcuterie boards have always been a party favorite, the pandemic saw a surge in demand for these grazing platters as people looked for creative ways to entertain at home or in small groups. According to Washingtonian, businesses like Honeyleaf Platters were able to meet this demand by providing beautiful, Instagram-worthy boards that were perfect for home gatherings, picnics, and virtual celebrations.

Our Best-Selling Platters:

One of our most popular items, the Signature Charcuterie Box (formerly Mini Grazing Platter ($150), was mentioned in the article as a great option for picnics. This platter includes:

• Variety of cheeses (a mix of soft, hard, and aged)

• Salami, olives, and fresh herbs

• Baguette and crackers

• Homemade hummus and olive tapenade

• Date truffles, chocolate-covered strawberries, and homemade rocky road chocolate

• Pickled peppers and pretzels

For larger events, we offer deluxe grazing tables, featuring a wide array of gourmet cheeses, meats, seasonal fruits, and unique dips.
