Chef Dana Minuta , long renowned as an advocate for real food, was looking for a way to join her passion for community and ingredient-driven cuisine. Her vision? Family and friends gathered together around food that inspired conversation and camaraderie with cuisine that was good for both the body and soul. Enter her brainchild, BOARDS Charcuterie Plus , opening in Water Mill, NY this May.
BOARDS is the realization of her vision to build community around food that is good for you. BOARDS offers a delectable array of hand-crafted grazing options meticulously curated by Chef Dana. At BOARDS, the ethos is simple yet profound: celebrate the bounty of nature’s harvest by showcasing the finest, freshest ingredients sourced from local purveyors.
“The boards will change seasonally and offer the best that the local purveyors have to offer,” explains Chef Dana. “That is why I chose to launch in the Hamptons. There is an abundance of farmers, fishermen, and cheesemakers.
You can get the freshest, most exquisite food here, I like to think of it as farm-to-board.” Drawing upon her wealth of culinary expertise, Chef Dana has crafted an eclectic menu featuring a tantalizing selection of uncured, pasture-raised, nitrate-free charcuterie, artisanal cheeses, crisp local crudites, seasonal fruits, and hand-made condiments and dips. Each board is designed to bring people together over a harmonious symphony of flavors and textures– all designed to delight the senses and inspire commun.
