SMOKING AND GRILLING

At Crafty Kitchen we smoke our own food including meat, fish, vegetables and yes, smoked macaroni 'n cheese (YUM!) We also love to grill food (and even breads from scratch, like Naan bread, creating gorgeous vegetable displays and food presentations with our smoked and grilled menu items. Once April arrives the weather conditions will be more favorable for us to fire up our grills and we cannot wait to do so!
Be sure to inquire about what smoky deliciousness we can prepare for you!
