Fox & the Knife
After years spent helming the kitchen at Myers + Chang, Karen Akunowicz chose South Boston for Fox & the Knife, her first solo restaurant. The fare—inspired by a year Akunowicz spent living in Modena, Italy—includes flavorful house-made pastas; a cheesy, herby focaccia; and a charred broccoli “Caesar” salad that may forever change your relationship with vegetables. Should you find yourself overindulging, don’t worry—a well-curated amaro cart is on call to provide whatever digestif you require.
