Our Q&A with Matthew Brusca, chef at Alewife:
Q: What is your favorite thing about being a chef?
A: Getting to work with my hands to improve on skills and techniques with the proteins and produce that come into the restaurant daily.
Q: How would you describe your culinary style?
A: I take a lot of inspiration from the places I’ve worked, places I’ve gone to eat and cookbooks.
Q: What is your favorite thing to make?
A: I don’t particularly have a favorite thing to make, but when I’m home I cook a lot of chicken thighs with rice or pasta dishes.
Q: Why was it important for you to participate in the Chefs’ Cook Off Challenge?
A: Our chef owner Lee Gregory has participated in the past, so I also wanted to support a good local foundation. Sous chef Grayson and I wanted to participate in more community events, and this felt like a good starting point for that.
