Meet Phyllis Kaplowitz, Boston College’s Executive Chef of Campus Dining. Phyllis supports all of our culinary teams across campus, including all main dining units, markets, catering, and concessions!

Phyllis began working for BC in 2019 after a career in the culinary industry, eager to try working in education. 

“I’d never worked in education prior to BC,” she said. “It’s such a large scope, and we have a tremendous opportunity to be creative here.”

After graduating college, Phyllis worked in restaurants around Boston, forming friendships and making connections with front-of-the-house management. Before long, Phyllis asked to go “behind the line,” learning to cook from her colleagues at Jacob Wirth, Boston’s Oldest restaurant.

“Eventually, I wanted to become classically trained,” said Phyllis. “When I told my boss at the time I was going to leave for school, he ended up sponsoring my education. When I returned, I ran Jacob Wirth for eight years. I later went on to help Lydia Shire open a couple of restaurants. Then, I went into catering.”

Throughout her accomplished career, Phyllis has gained much media attention for her hard work, innovative recipes, and dedication to the culinary arts. In fact, Phyllis was a semi-finalist on Food Network’s CHOPPED! 

Phyllis has a few passion projects in mind when looking toward her future with BC Dining. 

“Currently, we’re writing a new catering menu, collaborating with student cultural groups on new menu offerings, and hoping to collaborate with new area restaurants and chefs,” said Kaplowitz. “We’re thrilled to be able to serve exciting and delicious foods to the BC community.”
