Meet The Current Guest Curator


	Chef Karen Akunowicz



	Karen Akunowicz is an accomplished chef, owner of the renowned Fox & the Knife, and recipient of the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award in 2018. Her culinary journey began after graduating from the University of Massachusetts in 2001, when she enrolled at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and obtained her degree in 2004. Karen's passion for Italian cuisine led her to spend a transformative year in Modena, Italy, immersing herself in the art of Italian cooking as the Chef at L’Avian Blu. Back in Massachusetts, Karen honed her skills as the Sous Chef at Oleana Restaurant in Cambridge, working under the guidance of James Beard Award-winning chef Ana Sortun. It was there that she discovered the rich flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine and embraced the farm-to-table philosophy. Karen's talent and creativity flourished during her time as the Executive Chef at Myers+Chang, where she crafted bold and craveable dishes influenced by Chinese, Taiwanese, and Southeast Asian cuisine. Her remarkable talent gained recognition, earning her accolades such as a four-star review in The Boston Globe and being named Boston Magazine's Best Chef in 2016. Karen's culinary prowess extended beyond the kitchen as she captivated audiences on Bravo's "Top Chef" and competed on Food Network's "Beat Bobby Flay." Her impact on the food world was acknowledged by Marie Claire magazine, as she was named one of the "21 Badass Women Changing the Food World." She also co-authored the cookbook "Myers+Chang at Home" and actively contributes to Prowder.com, sharing lifestyle articles and recipes. Committed to making a difference, Karen supports the No Kid Hungry organization, working tirelessly to eliminate childhood hunger. Currently, Karen is focused on her new restaurant, Fox & the Knife, where she showcases her passion for Italian-inspired cuisine in a warm and inviting enoteca. With an impressive culinary background and unwavering dedication to her craft, Karen Akunowicz continues to redefine the culinary landscape and has just finished her second cookbook, Crave.

"I love CrateChef Boxes"

They are always filled with such high quality cooking items, packaged with such care and thoughtfulness. A must for a foodie. Definitely one of the best food boxes out there (I’m a subscriber since their first box and they get better and better)

"Giving a 5 star rating because of how the company handled a small setback."

One item was delayed for the box and instead of delaying the box (they arrived for Valentine's Day) they put in a bonus item and will ship the delayed item out separately... they responded almost immediately... I'm all about customer service and they did right by their customers on this one. Thanks, guys!

"I think this is amazing."

I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and he was so excited that there was a service that sends food that chefs love to use, and was really happy about the professional gadgets. Thank you for creating such a great service!
