Hi, I’m Jennifer .

I learned what hospitality really means by watching the women who raised me. They never missed a birthday. They showed up to every Sunday dinner with something made by hand. They filled tables like they were filling love languages — with food piled high, room always made for one more, and a kind of warmth that said you matter here before a single word was spoken.

That's the feeling I'm chasing with every board I build.

Kart and Craving was born from the belief that food is one of the most powerful ways we celebrate each other. Not just sustenance — ceremony. Whether it's your wedding day, a milestone birthday, or a corporate event that deserves more than a sad veggie tray, we design experiences that stop people mid-conversation and make them reach for their phones — not to scroll, but to capture something beautiful.

We call ourselves a charcuterie design house because what we do isn't catering in the traditional sense. Every experience is custom, intentional, and anchored in what I call radical hospitality — the kind that leaves guests feeling genuinely seen and celebrated.

Why Kart and Craving is different

There's no shortage of charcuterie in Kansas City. But most of it looks the same — the same boards, the same Instagram arrangements, the same presentation. We don't do copy-paste.

We take time to understand your event, your aesthetic, and the people you're celebrating. Then we design something that couldn't have been made for anyone else. From a bride and groom board engraved with your initials to an edible centerpiece that doubles as your reception's showstopper — the details are the point.
