My family and I are fortunate enough to have been invited by my wonderful in-laws to Italy next month.

And while I enjoy spending time with them and have long wanted to see the stadium that was inspired by Harvard (Ha!), I recently found a new reason to not go- or at least to not fly.

In addition to the growing issues with aircraft, I was recently given pause by the fact that James Beard Foundation champion and local legend Karen Ackunowicz is opening a branch of her legendary Fox & the Knife at Logan Airport!

Inspired by the Top Chef champ’s own time in Italy and supported by airport restaurateur Paradies Lagardère, Fox & Flight will allow people from all over to enjoy Chef’s bold and beloved Italian dishes as they wait to go to Italy or anywhere else.

As Fox fans already know, however, the food can be so good that you too may not want to leave!

In addition to handmade pastas and bright antipasti dishes, the Logan outpost will offer Aperitivo and Amaro programs that can make flying easier for even the most anxious aviators.

For those who want more international variety at the international terminal, Paradies Lagardère also hosts other local legends at Logan like Berkshire Farms, Stephanie’s, Boston Beer Works, Davio’s, and Vino Volo, but the Fox & the Knife is sure to cut in just fine and may even help people get a reservation at the main location!Grazie, Karen!
