Homemade charcuterie plates have been making their meaty waves through the restaurant scene over the past few years. With farm-to-table becoming increasingly popular, it's not uncommon to see a new restaurant {or your long-time standby} offer house-made charcuterie & pickles. The Linkery in San Diego makes an incredible meat board with some of the most supple, house-made charcuterie I've ever had. Paired with pickled green beans and sliced pickled onions…it's a tender, meaty, salty, and pickled delight for the taste buds.
