Some call it an appetizer, others consider it an art form. It’s easy for a charcuterie board to take the spotlight when plopped onto the table — it’s a conversation starter with its meats, cheeses, and snacks.
To many, they’re edible masterpieces, and to all, they are now available at Crooked Tooth Brewing, 228 E. Sixth St.
Each board is prepared in-house with French brie, port wine derby cheese, Sherry Sheep cheese, marinated artichokes, pickled carrots, green olives marinated with tangerines, tart dried cherries, candied pecans, and dried orange slices.
Also, if you’d like to add meat, they offer fennel salami and spinata calabrese.
“They are well-portioned and delicious,” Julie Vernon added, life-long Tucsonan and co-owner of Crooked Tooth Brewing.
Plus, don’t forget that Chef Dee Buizer’s Senae Thai is set up outside, serving her popular Thai dishes on Crooked Tooth’s patio! Buizer officially opened the new food truck in December 2024, and is open from 5 – 9 p.m. on Wednesday – Sunday (subject to change).

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
