Chef John Besh’s Latest Venture: The BeshBox

Acclaimed New Orleans born-and-bred Chef John Besh recently added one more concept to his ever-growing brand: The BeshBox. Subscribers can find everything from edible delicacies to kitchen tools to signature washcloths. In response to what triggered him to develop his newest project, Chef Besh claimed, “It’s all part of the same thing, trying to make people happy through food and making the world a better place. That’s my line, and I’m sticking to it.”

One BeshBox is priced at $55; three are $160 and six months are $330.

As for the benefits of The BeshBox, Besh reveals, “I always thought if it’s handled properly, it would be such an asset. It’s not just a small gift every month. It starts to stock pantries and spice racks, and you can have the recipe cards all together. This thing can, and will, continue to grow and evolve.”
