One-person show
Hello, I’m Mattias Blom,
I am a small operation of one person, aiming to give you high-quality, locally sourced crudo, sashimi, sushi, and grill bento for your guests.
I have been a local private chef for the past 14 years, and I also have a 18 year restaurant kitchen chef background, cooking for a wide variety of clientele in and around the Santa Barbara area.
Now you are going to be able to have me come to your event and set up my handmade (by me) cart station to serve your guests the best of California.
Each month, there will be new products and new flavors coming your way. Moving with the seasons, sustainable and exclusively sourced from local waters, matched with daily farmers market produce, complemented by house-made sauces and contemporary flavors.
Mattias is a 18 year restaurant experienced chef who has also been a private chef in and around the Santa Barbara area for the past 14 years.
You are now able to taste the best of seasonal ingredients with world-class flavors in the form of casual single serve bento style offerings.
