Matt Woolston's philosophy on dining is reflected well in Art Buchwald's statement, "Dinner is not what you do in the evening before something else. Dinner is the evening."
Matt has been making dinner an event in Sacramento for over 15 years. As the Chef of Sacramento's midtown institution, Pava's, Matt developed his skill for Mediterranean cuisine with a California touch.
Most people know Matt from his twelve years as the innovative Executive Chef for David Berkley's, Purveyor of Fine Foods and Wine. At Berkley's, Matt's culinary style took shape. He was able to indulge his passion for new flavor combinations and international cuisines, and with an abundance of local and exotic ingredients at his disposal Matt's creativity blossomed. Matt also benefited from Berkley's extensive wine cellar, developing his ability to pair his courses with a wine that not only complements the food, but enhances it. From alligator to zarzuela Matt created enticing dishes that earned David Berkley's a Four Star rating. Matt's love of cooking began early. While still in high school he owned and operated the most popular food booth at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. He's come a long way since those days but he still brings the same boyish enthusiasm and energy to his cooking. Matt met his wife, Yvette, over twenty years ago in a restaurant where they both worked. They have been cooking together ever since. They have three young sons who are as familiar with calamari and couscous as burgers and fries. In 2002, Matt and Yvette opened their first restaurant, The Supper Club. The Supper Club brings people together to celebrate exquisite cuisine. Weekend dinners are a prix-fixe seven-course menu skillfully paired with wine. Guests are delighted with artfully presented courses that combine fresh seasonal ingredients in unusual ways. The menu is often playful, but Matt is serious about food. He designs each course to highlight the essence of the ingredients, deftly blending flavors to achieve a perfectly balanced dish. Matt introduces the menu to his guests with a short description of the courses in a friendly and relaxed way that sets the tone for the evening. His extraordinary culinary skill along with Yvette's gracious sense of hospitality have created a truly unique dining experience. Matt's passion for cooking is evident in his monthly cooking classes. Matt teaches cooking skills and techniques through demonstrations while preparing a full set of courses. From novice to expert, everyone has a great time honing their skills with hands-on participation. With Matt's dedication to quality and onsite preparation, his catering is unrivaled at Sacramento functions. Matt consistently wins competitions and accolades for his inventive and flavorful cuisine. 1616 Del Paso Boulevard Sacramento, California Telephone 916.920.2885. http://www.supperclubsacramento.com  |
