Malia's

After Malia married Matthews father, Matthew spent several summer breaks from high school in England working at Malias. Inspired by those summers and undeterred by the hard work, he completed culinary school in the UK and returned with the skill to cook at Malias for 16 years. In 2012, Matthew took a hiatus to work a management position in corporate food service gaining experience in the business end of food…budgets, purchasing, staffing. He soon realized the creativity afforded him in a small family restaurant was what fulfilled him. Matthews interest is in combining dishes from around the world, new food technologies and the familiar flavors that Malias devoted fans have come to think of as home cooking. Now, Matthew is chef and partner in the family business, carrying the tradition of Malias through the next generation. Jason Tufts – Chef
