Personable Service
"5 stars isn’t enough to show how much we loved Chef Matt!! Highly professional, great conversation, and EXCELLENT food. My husband is scared to eat fried chicken again because “it won’t be like Chef Matt.” Thanks so much for an incredible evening we will never forget!" - Taylor O' Neal 2026
Memorable Experience
"Chef Matt is THE best!! We hired him for a surprise birthday dinner for our grandmother during our family trip to Breckenridge, CO, and he made the night absolutely unforgettable.
From start to finish, he went above and beyond. He served us chorizo sopes, scallops, French onion soup, ribeyes, and crème brûlée, all incredible. Our family is still talking about it!
If you’re thinking about hiring a private chef, don’t hesitate. Chef Matt Ryan is truly exceptional. If we could bring him back to Texas, we would! Highly, highly recommend!" - Kenna Ledford 2026
