CHEF FOX SCHANZER
Chef Fox Schanzer is on a mission to transform how we think about, source, and consume food. With a deep belief in the interconnectedness of our world, Fox's cuisine honors every aspect of the ecosystem—from the health of the planet to the well-being of its inhabitants. His journey began at 14, working at some of Connecticut’s top farm-to-table restaurants, and eventually led him to The Barn at Blackberry Farm (relais chateaux), where he fell in love with the hyper-local, seasonal, and story driven cuisine.
This experience, along with his time at 2 Michelin-starred Gabriel Kreuther, shaped his dedication to sustainable and purposeful dining. As Founder and Executive Chef of the Chef Fox Group and Culinary Lead at mission-driven Rooted Enterprises, Fox is committed to fostering healthy bodies, minds, and a healthier Earth through food. His obsession with sourcing, frequent visits to partner farms, and personal involvement in harvesting ingredients reflect his passion for supporting small farms and promoting a better food system. At Resident, Fox shares his love for produce through narrative-driven tasting menus, making his fine dining experiences both impactful and unforgettable.
