Top Chef Karen Akunowicz Wife LJ Johnson and Baby Rogue

 Karen and her wife LJ Johnson together opened a new restaurant Bar Volpe. They also own another eatery called Fox and the Knife.

The restaurant is based on the theme of Italy where she spent years in Modena. Her first family-run eatery was also inspired by the same place and was her first solo establishment.

Bar Volpe has a more seafood-heavy, vegetable-forward menu which is inspired by Rome.

It offers foods like potato-stuffed Sardinian pasta which is their signature dish and the pasta is the heart of this restaurant. 

The top chef's pasta shines as an authentic yet personal expression of Italian food and has been lauded as ethereal and her restaurant- and an instant classic.

At Bar Volpe, the wood-fired grill adds yet another dimension to the food and atmosphere of the restaurant.

The place also has a place for private events and functions and people can also make reservations through their website.

Her first restaurant Fox and the Knife is a laid-back, modern testament to the cuisine, wine, tradition, and spirit of Modena, all of which are served in a pleasant, upbeat setting.

The menu showcases Akunowicz's talent for hearty Italian cuisine, which she honed while working as a chef and pasta maker at L'Avian Blu Enoteca in Italy.

She creates new iterations of time-honored classics by expressing the strong flavors of extraordinary ingredients using both conventional and contemporary methods.

In addition to owning a restaurant, Karen also competed on Bravo's Emmy-nominated series "Top Chef," which she won.

Moreover, she has also collaborated with the charity No Kid Hungry to help them by lending her strength to end childhood hunger.

She also writes lifestyle essays and recipes for Prowder.com and is currently at work on her second cookbook.
