1023: Matt Lombardo Chef/Owner Pink Door Catering + Market

Matt Lombardo is the Chef/Owner of Pink Door Catering & Market in Mashpee, MA. Chef Matt grew up on Cape Cod and got his first job in the industry as a teenager. He moved to Jackson Hole, WY after college and lived there for 5 years, skiing and working in restaurants. While there, he moved from FOH to BOH and never looked back. He eventually moved back to the cape and bought a catering company that was well-liked, but Matt took it to the next level and turned it into the Pink Door Catering of today. Matt and Pink Door Catering were introduced to Restaurant Unstoppable by Kasey Anton of Profit First.
