Hey there I’m Cole Matthews, 44 years old, born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and currently calling Austin, Texas home. I’ve been cooking professionally for over two decades, but honestly, I still get that same giddy feeling every time I hear a pan sizzle or the soft pop of a freshly opened jar of pickles. Food has always had that kind of magic for me equal parts comfort and chaos.

My journey into the kitchen wasn’t a straight line. I didn’t grow up dreaming of Michelin stars. I actually wanted to be a drummer. I spent most of my twenties bouncing between dive bars and food service gigs, chasing music at night and flipping burgers by day. Somewhere in between, I fell in love with the rhythm of a dinner rush, the challenge of building flavors, and the quiet satisfaction of seeing someone close their eyes on the first bite.

One night, I was on the grill at this greasy spoon off Route 66 when a customer left a handwritten note: “Best damn patty melt I’ve ever had.” I taped it to the wall and realized this could be it. This could be my stage.

Since then, I’ve run kitchens in Denver, New Orleans, and now Austin, where I co-own a neighborhood joint that specializes in wood-fired everything vegetables, brisket, even peach cobbler. My style’s deeply rooted in Americana, but I like to mess with tradition: a little Vietnamese fish sauce in a pot of collards, smoked jalapeños in the aioli, maple in my kimchi brine. I cook with a lot of instinct, a little science, and absolutely no patience for ego.

Cooking’s taught me more than how to make a perfect roux. It’s taught me to listen, to fail with grace, and to show up every single day. That’s what I try to pass on, especially to home cooks. You don’t need fancy gear or ten knives. You need a sense of play, the courage to mess up, and maybe a cold beer within reach.

I believe food is a language, and my goal is always the same: to say something worth remembering with every plate. Thanks for being here. Let’s make something that sticks with you.
