Epicurean Escape Catering

Meet The Chef

At Epicurean Escape Catering, we believe that every event should be an unforgettable culinary journey. That's why we are committed to using locally sourced, organic ingredients whenever possible from only the highest quality suppliers. Our dishes are not only delicious but also environmentally friendly, and we are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.

Our executive chef and owner, Matt Paille, grew up surrounded by the bustling farm and wine industry of Sonoma County. At the early age of fifteen, he took culinary classes and was offered a position at Cattleman's Steakhouse, where he worked his way up from fry cook to grill. Chef Paille continued his culinary education at Maui Culinary Academy and then worked under renowned chefs such as Wolfgang Puck at Spago, James McDonald at Pacific'o, and Tom Leli of Manana Garage.

Through his travels in Asia, South America, and Europe, Chef Paille developed an extensive knowledge of international cuisines, cooking everything from wild piranha in the Amazon to guinea pigs in Peru. He also discovered near-endless varieties of seafood in Chile. After returning home to Northern California, Chef Paille worked at The Ritz Carlton, Medici Lounge in SF, and Manzanita Restaurant in Healdsburg before founding Epicurean Escape Catering.
