The Chef: Matthew Yee

someone we now consider a dear friend. He came as the sous chef to an event we did with Char back in the day, and since then, he’s become one of Treetop’s best buddies. He’s always down to roll with the punches and never fails to do it with a smile. He absolutely crushes it when it comes to the wok—ask around, and people will still be talking about the fried shrimp he cooked on Labor Day.
