About the Chef

At the heart of every experience we create is Chef Matthew Victor Borowski-Beszta, a first-generation American whose culinary approach is rooted in heritage, discipline, and a deep respect for hospitality.

Born to Polish immigrants in the Chicagoland area, Matthew grew up immersed in traditional Polish cooking alongside his mother—an early foundation that shaped his appreciation for technique, flavor, and thoughtful execution.

Matthew’s professional culinary career began early. Starting as a dishwasher near his hometown of Rockford, Illinois, he quickly worked his way onto the line. By his late teens, he was already independently executing large-scale wedding caterings, producing high-volume events for 100+ guests that required precision, endurance, and complete command of the kitchen.

Over the next decade, Matthew refined his craft across nearly every facet of the industry—from intimate private tastings to high-end weddings and large-format events exceeding 200 guests. His versatility, composure, and leadership consistently earned him rapid advancement, rising to the role of Sous Chef in multiple demanding, high-standard environments.

Drawn west by the mountains and alpine beauty of Northern Nevada, Matthew relocated to the Lake Tahoe region, where he joined an elite private country club known for its exacting standards. Within a few short years, he once again rose to the position of Sous Chef, recognized for his technical skill, calm leadership, and refined, ingredient-driven approach to cuisine.

Today, Matthew brings this depth of experience into private dining and catered events of all scales. Equally at ease in a country club kitchen or leading a 200-person luxury wedding, he is known for executing flawlessly under pressure while maintaining warmth, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail.

Every menu is intentionally designed around the client, the setting, and the moment being celebrated. No two events are ever the same—each experience is curated from the ground up, blending seasonal ingredients, refined technique, and an artist’s attention to detail.

Matthew’s philosophy is simple: exceptional food should tell a story, honor its ingredients, and create memorable experiences—allowing clients to be fully present while every detail is handled seamlessly behind the scenes.
