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.
