It started in a catering kitchen.
The restaurant came next. Then the jar.
The products people kept asking to take home. That’s Fox Gourmet.
Nicaraguan roots.
New York tables.
In 2002, Chef Melissa Fox launched A Casa, her first catering company. The empanadas and sauces that would define Fox Gourmet were developed here — recipes guests kept asking to take home. In 2008, those recipes moved into a restaurant: Casa Fox on the Lower East Side — for years, one of the only Nicaraguan restaurants in the city. Zagat-listed and Michelin Guide–featured, it ran for a decade. The food that started in a catering kitchen was proven at scale on real tables.
Fox Gourmet is the take-home version of a restaurant people loved. Every recipe was a menu item before it was a jar. Developed in a working kitchen. Asked for by name.
The products are rooted in Nicaraguan tradition and Latin cooking — not a single cuisine, but a way of cooking. Bold. Generous. Built for the table.
The pantry is what you take home. The catering is what we bring to you.
