Send us a text

On today's show, we have Matthew Jennings, a chef and consultant who is also the Vice President of Culinary at Healthy Living Market & Cafe in Vermont. Along with Jason Rose, Matt is the founder of Full Heart Hospitality. 

Prior to his current role, he owned and was the chef at Farmstead restaurant and cheese shop in Providence, and later opened Townsman restaurant in Boston. He is the author of the cookbook "Homegrown" and has been nominated for several James Beard awards. In our conversation, we discuss Matt’s decision to transition from owning a restaurant to consulting, and his new position at Healthy Living Market. He also shares details about his upcoming project, Red Barn Kitchen, which he’ll  be starting with his wife Kate.

Sponsor- The United States Personal Chef Association
Over the past 30 years, the world of the personal chef has grown in importance to fulfill dining needs. While the pandemic certainly upended the restaurant experience, it allowed personal chefs to close that dining gap.  Central to all of that is the United States Personal Chef Association.
 
 USPCA provides a strategic backbone for those chefs that includes liability insurance, training, communications, certification, and more. It’s a reassurance to consumers that the chef coming into their home is prepared to offer them an experience with their meal.
