Cured by the Cape was born from a dream to slow down, savor more, and bring people together around good food and coastal charm.

​

Founder Katie Dougherty was born and raised on Cape Cod, though it took traveling far and wide to fully realize what a privilege it was to grow up in such a beautiful place. The salty air, the rhythm of the tides — the ocean has always been healing. And so the name, Cured by the Cape, is a playful nod not only to charcuterie, but to the restorative magic of the sea.

​

After years in customer service, teaching, and hospitality, and a life rooted in yoga and intentional living, Katie felt a pull to create something personal — something that combined her love for community, creativity, and coastal living. What began as a vision of serving artisan charcuterie from a seaside table quickly took shape, becoming an official business with its first event booked before summer even began. 

​

From gluten-free and vegan options to locally sourced ingredients and customizable menus, Cured by the Cape isn’t just about food — it’s about experience, connection, and savoring the beauty of where we are. The mobile charcuterie bar may be a table, but the love and intention are unmistakable.
