I first met Matt and Harry when I moved to Paris in 2022. Matt, his wife and their two dogs were my first roommates when I moved to the city. Matt quickly introduced me to his world of culinary experts and restauraters. During this time Matt and Harry both worked at Au Passage and I began spending a lot of time there. Immediately I was drawn to not only the way they cooked, but also their personalities and their ethos around cooking. Harry seemed to wear a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops almost every time I saw him in the kitchen. Matt wore his larger than life personality and unique style. They seemed to be pirate chefs working in one of Paris’ more popular restaurants.
