Bachelor Party Chef

Chef Matt was great @ our Bachelor Party. It was $1300 for 13 for a 4 course meal. Candied Bacon Caprese was our family style appetizer. Then a House salad with heirloom tomato, cucumber, feta cheese and toasted pepitas. for dinner he perfectly cook 13 Steaks (Filet I think) to everyone's desired temperature. He had Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Vegetables with this red wine gravy sauce that was bomb. We were so full, and he brought out this Orange Citrus olive cake that had some lavender whip cream I think and like a mango sauce with some fresh berries. The light cake was perfect for summer.

Engagement Party

Chef Matthew was incredible for our engagement party this fall. I proposed, she said yes and we return to chef Matt’s beautiful grazing board ready go. We order a 3-course plated dinner for 24 with a salad, choice entrees steak and scallops was to die for. For dessert chef had individual panna cottas with berry sauce and he also serviced our cake at no extra cost. Quick, clean effective work!
