Affectionately known as “the most colorful chef”  in town, Matney’s approach to New American Cuisine embraces the belief that the “melting pot theory” applies equally well to cooking as to sociology. According to Chef Eddie, his cooking is a "Mirror of America." His cuisine, like America itself, is multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and utilizes the many flavors that are native to classic American and Mediterranean cooking. His ingenious use of ingredients pushes the envelope of flavor to turn long-time standards into new favorites.
