Are you looking to impress your Super Bowl party guests with a touch of sophistication?  Look no further!  


Unfortunately, I don’t care much about which teams play anymore since Tom Brady isn’t playing. But I am a huge fan of a big get together with lots of food and watching the commercials and halftime. 


So I am bringing to you the ultimate guide to creating the perfect charcuterie board and cheese pairing to score a game winner. 


Picture this:  your friends and family gathered around the TV, cheering on their favorite team while indulging in a beautifully crafted charcuterie board filled with cured meats, artisanal cheeses and delectable accompaniments.  Sounds like a dream, right?  Well, I'm here to make that dream a reality


Why settle for boring chips and dip when you can elevate your Super Bowl party with a gourmet charcuterie board?  Trust me, your guests will be blown away and you'll be the talk of the party (well, other than the halftime show and the commercials)


Whether you are a seasoned football fan, or a novice, I've got you covered!  I will provide you links through the art of assembling a charcuterie board, choosing the right pairings, and arranging them in a visibly pleasing manner.  


First, let's start with a good board https://thegourmetfoodies.warhead.com/large-charcuterie-board-set-21-piece-cheese-board-and-knife-set-acacia-wood-slate-serving-tray
