Fox’s culinary journey began in a Cleveland suburb, but it was summers spent in Yardley, Pennsylvania, where his Jewish grandmother cooked tirelessly, which truly ignited his passion for food. A pivotal moment came at age nine when he first tasted her beef tongue dish, opening his mind to a lifelong love of cooking. Inspired by the Stanley Tucci film Big Night, Fox enrolled in culinary school at 20, gaining experience in Charleston and Atlanta before heading to San Francisco in 2001. There, he worked in acclaimed kitchens like Rubicon and Charles Nob Hill before staging at Michelin-starred De Snippe in Belgium, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London, and Fergus Henderson’s iconic nose-to-tail restaurant, St. John, also in London.
