Raised in Vernon, Connecticut Chef Matt Redinger and his family often spent summers in Jamestown, Rhode Island, (eventually moving there in 1992) where he got his first industry experience waiting tables at The Bay Voyage Inn, a fine dining resort.
Having chosen to pursue a career in the food industry, and with three years of front-of-the-house experience, Redinger thought it would be best to learn about the back-of-the-house. He enrolled at Scottsdale Culinary Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he completed the twelve-month accelerated program.
Returning to New England he completed his externship at La Bettola in Boston's South End, where he apprenticed under award-winning Chef Rene Michelena for three years. When Michelena opened Centro in Cambridge, he invited Redinger to join him at the new restaurant, where the menus highlighted a revolving roster of Italian regional cuisine. The experience proved to be invaluable.
After three years and a promotion to Executive Chef, Redinger decided to take a break from the restaurant lifestyle and try catering. He joined Gourmet Caterers as Sous Chef, and is now Co-Chef with good friend Robert Crowley.
Redinger travels to Europe at least once a year, including a ten-week leave of absence from Gourmet Caterers in 2004-2005, when he stayed in Barcelona and visited with family in Munich and Toulouse.
Redinger's wife Marla, who he met in culinary school, is a talented Pastry Chef in her own right. Having worked for Michelena for many years as well, she is currently on maternity leave from Domani and raising the couple's newborn daughter, Justine.
