Karen Akunowicz, the chef/owner of Fox & the Knife in Boston and a James Beard award winner, has been dealing with a lot of highs and lows as of late. She\u2019s a contestant on the current season of Top Chef All-Stars, but at the same time, was forced to furlough most of her restaurant team due to the current crisis. Karen quickly pivoted to takeout and delivery and has focused her offerings on homemade pasta and sauces, pantry items, \u201cSpritz Kits,\u201d and the most craveworthy hits from the Fox & the Knife menu. \u201cI just thought that if I didn\u2019t try, that I might look back and say, \u2018Did I try my very hardest to keep us afloat, to keep going, to keep serving our community, to take care of our team?\u2019\u201d Be sure to tune in.
