Graze Craze stands out as the premier creator of charcuterie arrangements, each meticulously handcrafted by a team of expert Grazologists. These artisans skillfully design food displays that blend a variety of flavors, colors and textures for the ultimate dining experience. Each grazing spread features a collection of high-quality ingredients, including premium meats and cheeses, fresh fruits, crisp vegetables and house-made sauces, dips and jams.

“I was seeking a career shift, and Graze Craze provided a promising opportunity to explore my culinary creativity,” Cindee said in a statement. “I loved the idea of creating beautiful charcuterie spreads with a variety of ingredients that would appeal to diverse palates, offer healthier food alternatives and provide a fun, new way to elevate parties and gifts.”

Graze Craze boards cater to every lifestyle, dietary preference and palate. The menu incorporates a wide range of flavors, from the fan-favorite Gone Grazey board, a balanced mix of cured meats, premium cheeses, crackers, fresh produce, nuts and more, to the Vegegrazian, a medley of fruits and vegetables for those embracing a plant-based lifestyle. For those with a sweet tooth, the store crafts the Sweet & Grazey, a handcrafted delight featuring an abundance of desserts like chocolates and baked goods paired with sweet dips to accent the flavors.

Cindee’s favorite menu item, the Brunch Board, is a generous selection of breakfast meats, fresh fruits, eggs, pastries and more. “It’s a great alternative to the usual bagels-and-doughnuts option, especially for morning events, meetings and celebrations,” said Cindee. The store also offers other specialty boards, like the Game Day Board packed with a variety of premium meats, cheeses, breads and spreads that are ideal for watch parties and tailgating events.

The artisan-inspired charcuterie spreads at Graze Craze are available in different sizes to suit every occasion. From Char-Cutie-Cups and Picnic Boxes to larger charcuterie boards, there’s enough fresh food options to meet all grazing needs. The larger food displays are ideal for work meetings, family gatherings and special events, while the boxes and cups are perfect for satisfying snack cravings.

Graze Craze Boca Raton will offer special accommodations at the new store for those looking to host meetings, workshops, corporate and private events, parties and more.

Cindee grew up in Southern California and joined the Air Force after graduating from nursing school. She retired after 22 years in the military and continued working in healthcare until this year, when she decided to pivot to entrepreneurship and become the sole owner of Graze Craze in north Boca Raton.

Cindee volunteers with the Broward Vetworking Organization and the Wounded Veteran Relief Fund and plans to join similar groups supporting healthcare workers and first responders. She is also active in the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, BNI Business Exchange, and the local chapter of FemCity.

Graze Craze Boca Raton is located next to the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce and open for pick-up, catering and delivery Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed on Sunday.
