Someone called me on the air not long ago, in search of shepherd's pie. There it is! Also available ate fish and chips, and other eats from the British Isles. That said, it must be noted that Matt has a wide range in his cooking. And although he is as Irish as they come (a Dublin native), he can and does do it all.

At lunchtime, there's a $15 two-courser that starts with the soup of the day and ends with Dubliner grilled cheese, a sandwich of sourdough with fresh preserves, nuts, berries and housemade cornichons (little pickles). The smiles you get from Matt are lagniappe.
