Cuvée Wine Table is next for APRON Inc.’s Chef in a Box promotion, but first the bigger picture.
Food & Dining Magazine continues to preview the forthcoming Chef in a Box offering. It’s a tasty fundraising project dating to the summer of 2020, benefiting APRON Inc.’s ongoing grant program.
The Chef in a Box promotion continues on a monthly basis in 2026.
APRON Inc. was created in 2011 to help provide financial relief to food and beverage industry workers in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area who find themselves in need during times of crises. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, APRON Inc. has stepped up with a far greater volume of assistance to local workers than ever before.
Here’s how Chef in a Box works.
Each month up to fifty patrons can purchase a Chef in a Box for $50, which actually aren’t boxes but reusable bags provided by APRON Inc.
Participating eateries keep $25 toward expenses, while $25 goes to APRON Inc. toward its ongoing grant program.
The contents of Chef in a Box/Bag vary according to the establishment’s specialization and creativity, but you’ll always be able to view the menu in advance and know what you’re getting.
Typically there will be tasting selections for two; perhaps a favorite dish of the chef’s, or maybe a meal kit. Participating eateries also are encouraged to include a gift certificate, coupon, or promotional materials.
Chef in the Box Q & A
-
- How do I order the box? You contact the featured restaurant directly.
- When do I call? You can place your order starting on Friday prior to the restaurant’s feature.
- Is it pickup or delivery? Each restaurant makes that decision, but usually it’s pickup only.

And now, the main attraction for the coming week.
