Chef Matt began his culinary journey as a waiter and bartender before being classically trained. With a philosophy to learn by doing, Matt moved into the kitchen and honed his skills in restaurants ranging from small boutique hotels to a large ski resort. While studying Anthropology at Hawaii Pacific University, Matt soaked up culture with every bite. When he's not in the kitchen, Matt enjoys gardening, skiing, cycling, hiking, and photography. Matt believes the best meal is one you grow or gather yourself and share with friends and family.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to be an integral part of Stanford University's program for fostering learning within and without the classroom. We share the essential conviction of Residential Education -- that living and learning should be integrated, nor separate; that formal teaching, informal learning, and personal support in student residences is essential to a Stanford education.
Stanford's Office of Residential Education and Student Organized Services, Inc. provide a hands-on management leadership opportunity to serve the Stanford community. Students learn management skills within a framework that allows them to experiment with new programmatic and business ideas, adapt to changing customer needs, and to quickly implement changes as necessary.
We also serve some darn good food!
