#### His Inspirations
Matthew fell in love with Newfoundland and Labrador on his first trip to ‘The Rock’ in 2017. He is inspired by its people, its food, its produce, its history, and its great landscapes. While he has not grown up in the province, he hopes to bring an all-Canadian fare using th best of what Newfoundland has to offer.
