Fox & the Knife

Chef Karen Akunowicz is one of Boston’s leading culinary lights. Not only was she a fan favorite on Bravo’s “Top Chef” and “Top Chef All-Stars,” she also won the 2018 James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northeast for her work helming the kitchen at the city’s renowned Myers + Chang. But she didn’t stop there: in 2019 she opened her first solo venture, a 75-seat neighborhood enoteca named Fox & The Knife, and not only was it dubbed an “instant classic” by Food & Wine, it was also a finalist for “Best New Restaurant” at the 2020 James Beard Awards.

Akunowicz has been touted as “Boston’s Queen of Pasta,” and Fox & The Knife is a love letter to her time spent working in Italy’s Emilia-Romagnia region. Her pastas and sauces are homemade from scratch, and they’ll transport you directly to the trattorias of Rome!
