Along with boards and boxes, Queso + Carne creates unique special-occasion delights like these charcuterie cones. The Fort Worth caterer loads the premium meats, cheeses, and olives typically found on their charcuterie spreads into waffle cones, making them a no-waste option for green event planners as there are no plates to dispose of. The ingredients are limited only by your imagination. In the cone on the right, Owner Sierra Work even included a few slices of a cranberry goat cheese roll. Photo courtesy of Queso + Carne.

3.) Inspired by an episode of Parks & Rec, The Bearded Lady (300 S Main St, 817-349-9832) is hosting its second annual Galentine’s Day Brunch 11am Sun, Feb 12. What is Galentine’s Day? Leslie Knope says, “It’s only the best day of the year. My lady friends and I leave our husbands and boyfriends at home and kick it breakfast-style, ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus, frittatas.” A special cocktail and food menu are planned — including some surprise items for the guys — and Wandering Roots Markets (@WanderingRootsMarkets) will host a themed pop-up shop.
