Nelson
Bring a refined Park City dining experience home with intimate, personalized menus created around the season, your guests and the way you want to celebrate.
Two decades in Park City kitchens.
Chef Matt Nelson brings restaurant-level craft to the intimacy of your own table.
After training at New England Culinary Institute, Matt came west to Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley around the 2002 Olympic Games. He worked his way from line cook to Chef de Cuisine and later collaborated with some of Park City’s most talented culinary teams, including opening Handle with friends in 2013.
His range spans old-world sourdough and house-made charcuterie to traditional sushi techniques — experience he now channels into personalized in-home dining built around local, organic and seasonally available ingredients.
Fine dining, made personal.
Every event begins with a conversation. Chef Matt develops the menu around your preferences, the best ingredients available and the atmosphere you want to create — from an elegant multi-course dinner to a more relaxed gathering.
Dietary needs are part of the process, not an afterthought. Menus can be adapted for gluten-free, keto, vegan and other lifestyles while staying focused on flavor and the integrity of the experience.
