Food & Dining Magazine readers already know that Chef in a Box is a tasty monthly fundraising project dating to the summer of 2020, benefiting APRON Inc.’s ongoing grant program.
Our complete past Chef in a Box links at F & D can be viewed here. They’re an excellent introduction to metropolitan Louisville’s stellar eateries.
Given that November and December are the busiest months for most Louisville area chefs, APRON’s CIAB committee will not offer selections during this period. The regular schedule will return as before in January 2025.
About APRON Inc.
APRON Inc. was created in 2011 to help provide financial relief to food and beverage industry workers in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area who find themselves in need during times of crises. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, APRON Inc. has stepped up with a far greater volume of assistance to local workers than ever before.
About Chef in a Box.
Each month up to fifty patrons can purchase a Chef in a Box for $50, which actually aren’t boxes but reusable bags provided by APRON Inc. Participating eateries keep $25 toward expenses, while $25 goes to APRON Inc. toward its ongoing grant program.
The contents of Chef in a Box/Bag vary according to the establishment’s specialization and creativity, but you’ll always be able to view the menu in advance and know what you’re getting.
Typically there’ll be tasting selections for two; perhaps a favorite dish of the chef’s, or maybe a meal kit. Participating eateries also are encouraged to include a gift certificate, coupon, or promotional materials.
Osteria Italian Seafood was the CIAB feature in June, 2024.
