Fork and Flare Charcuterie and Grazing Tables, founded by Kelsey Lynne in Costa Mesa, redefines Orange County entertaining with artisanal charcuterie boards, grazing tables, and workshops that blend local flavor, creative design, and community connection across Southern California.
Costa Mesa, CA, United States, 8th Oct 2025 – – Fork and Flare Charcuterie and Grazing Tables is revolutionizing entertaining throughout all of Southern California through custom charcuterie boards, grazing tables, and event catering that unite individuals through flavor, texture, and presentation. Established by local entrepreneur and food stylist Kelsey Lynne, the company is Orange County’s signature representative for contemporary grazing experiences, raising the bar for creativity and presentation for its industry.
In essence, Fork and Flare produces edible art—pairing gourmet cheeses, farm-cured meats, fresh produce, and handmade accompaniments into stunning presentations designed to please both your taste buds and your eye. From large charcuterie boards and intimate date-night boxes to stylish grazing tables for corporate occasions and weddings—each order is handcrafted, of the season, and directly sourced from local marketplaces and local farms.
“Charcuterie is more than food—it’s connection,” said Kelsey Lynne, Founder and Creative Director of Fork and Flare. “We want every board to feel personal and inspiring. Whether it’s a cozy get-together or a 200-person celebration, our boards make people stop, look, and share. They create moments.”
Blossoming Trend: Charcuterie Gains Popularity as an Orange County Staple
This growth of grazing culture here in Orange County reflects a broader national trend of experiential dining. With food being as eye-worthy as it is palate-worthy, Fork and Flare has separated itself by concentrating on creativity, freshness, and neighborhood hospitality. Each charcuterie board and grazing table is crafted to tell a story—celebrating local flavors, handcrafted cheeses, and the connections made around food.
Popular offerings include:
- Signature Charcuterie Boards of Various Sizes (Small, Medium, Medium-Plus, and Large)
- Brunch Boards with mini waffles, cured meats, and fruit of the season
- Gluten-Free Charcuterie Boards Using allergen-safe picks
- Crudités Cups and Boards for raw, crunchy vegetable grazing

Each of their boards offers easy serving and beautiful presentation—perfect for parties, open houses, bridal showers, and business events. Fork and Flare boards have appeared at weddings, real estate agent opens, new brand rollouts, and high-end pop-ups across the county.
From Grazing Tables to Workshops: A Growing Community Through Food
Apart from its catering and delivery service, Fork and Flare has become a creative space for community experiences. The brand holds seasonal workshops during which guests are taught how to make their own charcuterie boards, including a fine blending of food education and socialization.
Their latest event—The Spooky-Chic Charcuterie Workshop hosted by L’emi Boutique in Mission Viejo—nearly sold out on its first day of opening. Participants will learn to layer cheese, fold prosciutto roses, and create seasonal boards showcasing fall ingredients such as figs, honeycomb, and edible flowers. Everyone will take home a completed Halloween-themed board and memories of laughter, drinks, and communal creativity.
These interactive workshops are a reflection of the mission of the business to make things both fun and accessible when it’s related to food.
“We’re excited to see people become confident about being creative,” Lynne described. “You don’t have to be a chef to create something pretty. You just have to be curious—and have a good cheese knife.”
Where Local Ingredients and Shared Moments Meet
With increasing interest in local artisan catering, Fork and Flare has emphasized sustainability, quality procurement, and design originality. All boards are made using environmentally friendly items like reusable acacia boards, compost cups, and recyclable containers. The company also collaborates with local beekeepers, bakeries, and small-run meat makers, so each element benefits the regional food economy.
Fork and Flare also provides corporate catering options designed for offices, brokers, and event planners—with themed boards for your brand, custom logo stickers, and menu selection. Large events feature charcuterie grazing tables that are full-scale visual centerpieces, blending buffet extravagance and sophisticated fine dining experiences.
