Humble Board’s Charcuterie Workshop, New Location & More

Jul 3, 20233 min read

Emili Krzyzanowski, the mastermind behind Humble Board, just became a member of SAACA’s CATALYST Creative Collective, located in the Tucson Mall at 4500 N. Oracle Rd. #110. However, we first want to let you know about an upcoming workshop she’s hosting this month.

Upcoming Workshop

Krzyzanowski has an in-person class on the horizon — one that’ll provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to style a personal charcuterie board that you can then take home with you.

The class will be held Tuesday, July 11 at 6 p.m. in the Poindexter Cafe at The Graduate Hotel, 930 E. Second St. near Main Gate Square. Tickets are $71 per person and $132 for two tickets.

“I’ll teach you how to make a Salami Rose, style cheeses, slice fruit in different ways to add texture as well as play with color and movement to make your board pop,” said Krzyzanowski.

Each and every participant will also get a complimentary glass of house wine (21+) or a non-alcoholic beverage while creating the edible art.

To purchase your ticket(s), visit graduatehotels.com.

Humble Board’s New Home

If you’ve yet to stop by CATALYST Creative Collective by SAACA, the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance, it’s a gathering and learning space for all things creative — a space full of art that’ll have you wandering around with your eyes wide open for several minutes.

So, this means that Humble Board will be creating its visually stunning and massive charcuterie boards — known as Grazing Tables — out of SAACA’s beautiful prep kitchen. Additionally, Humbe Board offers regular-sized charcuterie boards for smaller gatherings, which can be ordered online.

From now on, any pick-up orders can be picked up at CATALYST Creative Collective, and the best entrance is on the first level, Entrance 3, over near Sears.

Humble Board’s Beginnings

Humble Board is a very unique culinary experience with its jumbo Grazing Tables, showcasing a lavish assortment of meat, cheese, fruit, and vegetables.

With a background that includes cheese-making on a goat farm, Krzyzanowski, the mastermind behind Humble Boards, expertly crafts two varieties of Grazing Tables capable of satisfying even the most voracious appetites of crowds exceeding 25 guests.

At the moment, Krzyzanowski’s creations are available in all of Arizona and she offers pick-up options and board delivery in all areas of Tucson. If you’re outside of Tucson, your location is subject to a travel fee.

Humble Board is also a Restaurant Partner, meaning all Foodie 500 members can partake in specials like a $20 voucher toward online to-go board orders and a $75 voucher for any Grazing Table order.

More about Matt

At 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.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
