About Us
Hi, I’m Adiba, the face behind The Board Bae ATX!
My passion for food goes beyond just taste—it’s about connection. I’ve always believed that good food has a way of bringing people together, breaking down barriers, and creating conversations that might not have happened otherwise. Whether it's a gathering of friends, a special celebration, or a simple moment shared over a beautifully crafted board, food has a way of making it all more meaningful.
The Art of Charcuterie
For me, charcuterie is more than just arranging meats and cheeses—it's about transforming something simple into something extraordinary. I love pairing flavors in unexpected ways and presenting them in a way that feels like a piece of art. Some of my favorite combinations? Soft goat cheese with dried apricots, pistachios, thyme, and honey, or Camembert with honeycomb, raspberry, and bresaola on a multi-seed cracker. And when it comes to cheese, you’ll always find me reaching for Drunken Goat, Humboldt Fog, and anything creamy and decadent.
A Global Influence on Food & Entertaining
Food has always been a central part of my life, shaped by my diverse upbringing. I was born in Bangladesh, grew up in Zambia, and studied in Europe and Australia. Each place introduced me to new flavors, traditions, and ways of gathering around food. This international background influences my approach to charcuterie—I love blending flavors from around the world, creating boards that feel both familiar and adventurous.
Supporting Local & Women-Owned Businesses
As a female entrepreneur, I’m deeply committed to empowering other women and making entrepreneurship more accessible. I make it a priority to collaborate with and source products from local Austin makers whenever possible. Supporting our community and lifting up other small businesses is at the heart of what I do.
Where You'll Find Me When I'm Not Working
Most weekends, you’ll find me busy with events, especially during wedding and festival seasons. But on my days off, I love soaking in Austin’s energy—whether it’s enjoying a lavish picnic at Zilker Park, sipping on a Mezcal cocktail in East Austin or hanging out in South Austin on Menchaca (IYKYK).
Whether you’re looking for the perfect grazing table for a wedding, a stunning board for your next gathering, or just some inspiration for your own pairings, I’m here to help. I can't wait to share my love of food with you!
Let’s make something beautiful (and delicious) together.
