Chef in a Box, restaurant carry out that helps restaurant workers in need

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- APRON, Inc.'s latest fundraiser puts a "Chef in a Box".

A chef is not literally in a box. You can find their talents inside, and you're helping local restaurant workers. WDRB's Keith Kaiser spent the morning with participating chefs to see what they are cooking up.

The concept, started on August 5th, showcases a Louisville Chef and helps the local restaurant community during times of need. Especially during the COVID 19 pandemic. Each week, pick up a tasting from an acclaimed local restaurant, packed to enjoy at home.

Each "Chef in a Box" contains a signature dish, a possible gift certificate, promotional swag, or even a possible “Surprise” in a Box. The Box costs $50; half of the proceeds will go to support the restaurant, and half to support APRON, Inc.’s efforts.

Here's a list of the upcoming participants:

October 28 – Chad Coulter - Biscuit Belly St. Matthews

November 4 – Chef Allen Sims - Buck’s Restaurant and Bar
