Mateus Bistro

For as far back as him memory can carry him, Matthew Krizan remembers cooking. In his mother Anna's  kitchen, on the large tile countertop, Matt would sit near the window over looking the communal back yard in the complex they lived in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. There he would observe the Slovakian and Hungarian dishes created by Anna and her mother. The smells of onion, paprika and chicken filled the kitchen where Matthew learned to love food.
