Sam Fox, creator of such innovative restaurant brands as Flower Child, North Italia, Sauce Pizza & Wine and True Food Kitchen, has been named to the 2019 class of Golden Chain Award winners, recognizing his vision and operational expertise.
His Phoenix-based company, Fox Restaurant Concepts, has developed partnerships with large companies as varied as The Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang’s China Bistro to develop its concepts as well as with high-profile individuals like media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who invested last year in True Food Kitchen.
Fox was raised in a hospitality family. His parents operated a deli in Chicago and The Hungry Fox restaurant in Tucson, Arizona, where he helped in the kitchen and waited tables. Fox opened his first restaurant when he was 21, and in 1998 launched Wildflower in Tucson, which would serve as the foundation for Fox Restaurant Concepts.
