Lupe Ortega

Lupe Ortega is the lead counter and catering manager at Vaughn Family Meat Co.—the person who helps customers pick the perfect cut and keeps event trays on time across Douglas County.

After more than a decade at the shop, she knows how to move a Saturday rush, build a charcuterie spread that feeds a crowd, and match a roast to the way you plan to cook it. When catering orders stack up, Lupe is the calm at the center of it.

On the blog, she writes about entertaining, charcuterie boards, cooking at home, and the practical tips she shares across the counter every week.
