How Karen Akunowicz Is Making It Work

With her new takeout operation Fox Pasta, the award-winning chef is supporting laid-off employees while feeding Boston. FWPro

We caught up with chef Akunowicz to talk about transforming her business, staying safe, and the future of restaurants.I spent half the night outside on the phone trying to figure out how we moved forward. We were going to try to make a go of it. We've always been a neighborhood restaurant, and we wanted to continue to feed people as faithfully and responsibly as we can. And if we could do that in that way, it felt important to us to try.

It was a very quick turnaround. We were able to really pivot on the dime and the next day open up. As day one, day two, day three went by, by day four we were like, "Okay, this is how this works."We are selling out every single day. Again, I don't know what this week will look like. We are trying to, in the best way we know how, stay true to who we are as a restaurant.

I will be honest, there are days that I'm like, "Wow, it would have been easier to just shut it all down." But I don't know that I've ever taken the easy road to anything actually.
