Woman Crush Wednesday: Chef Crystal Fox

Every hump day, a Philly woman shares her local picks for Woman Crush Wednesday. Today, Crystal Fox, whom you may recognize from the 2007 season of Chopped. Today Fox whips up mouth-watering Italian cuisine as the executive chef at Giorgio on Pine. 

Crystal Fox

My name is Crystal Fox and these are my local picks for Woman Crush Wednesday.

Rachelle Lee Smith

Photographer and now author. I've actually known this girl since we were both about 19 years old. Look for her book dropping this fall entitled Speaking Out: Queer Youth in Focus.

Meg Rider

Spending her days working at Magee Rehabilitation Center, Meg Rider is the real deal. A philanthropist, humanitarian, and she can hit a killer high note around the piano at Tavern on Camac.

Samantha Giusti

Executive director at Delaware Valley Legacy Fund, Samantha is absolutely everywhere in the community with her outreach ... not to mention she throws the most-anticipated event of the holiday season: TOY.

DJ KAsh

Does the D in DJ stand for doctor? In this case, it does! Gynecologist by day, dropping filthy beats by night. This chick is the most down-to-earth DJ (or doctor for that matter) I've ever met.

Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran

Who in Philadelphia doesn't know these two?! They are absolutely slaying 13th Street. As a chef, I respect their drive, commitment to excellence, and being women killing it in a male dominated profession.
