Chef Matthew prepared a BBQ style dinner for a group of 10 guys. He was very accommodating with the food requests and did a wonderful job - he makes one hell of a brisket, brisket, elote and Mac and cheese. On top of that, we had a bunch left over for another dinner / lunch for our group.

Chef Matthew was wonderful in every way!!! I really wanted my 18 yo son to have some foundational skills with cooking so that he could take care of his health and be self-sufficient in his life and not depend on the terrible stuff they call “food” out there in order to live. Chef Matthew agreed to do it and was so very accommodating! He came to our place and brought everything he needed and we had the lesson right here. It was fabulous! We all ate together what they cooked! So much fun. No one else out there was willing to do that and I think it speaks really highly of him and his dedication to his craft and sharing it with others. Can’t wait to do it again! We hope to do a few more lessons in the future!

Thank you it was such a blast showing him a few things and would love to do it again for him or anyone who needs a basic lesson.
