Meet Matty

A young man with blonde curly hair wearing a white shirt and black apron is working behind the counter at a food stand or small restaurant. He is smiling and looking to his right. The space is decorated with red Japanese-style banners with white floral symbols hanging above the counter. On the counter, there is a red menu board with white text listing dishes, including Thai prawn gyoza ramen, and a small black device with a blue light. The background shows a kitchen area with various cooking supplies and utensils.

Matty is the chef behind Good Luck Duck, bringing a passion for Japanese flavours and a seriously good eye for a bowl of ramen. His cooking is all about depth, texture and big flavour, with plenty of room to experiment along the way.

Matty is one of the Buttermarket’s most-spotted chefs, having started out with Bango’s gang before popping up in JB Gone Cooking and Filthy Focaccia’s kitchens.
