Message from Chef Rudy to his friend Matteo:

With this post, I wanna thank one of the best friends I have here in Australia, who’s also been my mentor for the last 4 years…Jeffo!

Since I’ve started my journey in Australia he has been one of my biggest pillars.

He taught me how to be a better chef, taught me techniques, how to develop and trust my palate, and most of all humanity!

If I’m the chef that I am today, it is because Matt always gave me the space and freedom to explore my creativity and express myself with my dishes.

I will never thank you enough chef for all the opportunities and support that you gave me since I’ve met you!

I feel blessed and honoured to have worked side by side with such an incredible chef and amazing human!

Love you brother!

Pura Vida Matteo!
