Adam Livow
Chef Adam has been with TASK for 5 years, initially as Kitchen Coordinator and as a result of his impressively extensive efforts during and following the Covid-19 pandemic; Adam earned the promotion to Director of Culinary Operations in 2023.
A “typical” day for Chef Adam Livow looks like doing a lot with a little! As the Director of Culinary Operations, Chef Adam manages a team of 4 cooks and 3 prep cooks . In FY24, he and his team prepared and served 535,103 meals and as of October FY25 they’re just under 200K meals. Procuring, planning, prepping, preparing and plating; this production is massive, but, Adam has developed the well oiled operation that is critical for TASK’s main hub, food truck, 40 community meal sites, and special events.
Additionally, Chef Adam is the instructor of Emilio’s Culinary Academy — a 10 week training program that includes kitchen skills and preparation for the ServSafe certification. Emilio’s Culinary Academy will be graduating its 11th cohort this December.
