Chris Muscarella is the CEO and Founder of Kitchensurfing, an online marketplace where outstanding local chefs cook for you in your home.

Prior to Kitchensurfing, Chris got involved in the food world by helping to open Rucola—a well loved, Northern Italian restaurant in Brooklyn in 2010. Through that exposure to the hospitality world, he found an outstanding pool of talent eager to have broader exposure to the world—hence: Kitchensurfing. Chris is still a partner at Rucola and a number of other restaurants in Brooklyn.

Before joining the food world, Chris spent more than ten years in the technology world. He cut his teeth as an entrepreneur as the Cofounder and President of Products of Mobile Commons, a mobile messaging platform for nonprofits, advocacy, fundraising, and political campaigns.
