Matt Carpenter of Deer Harbor Inn Restaurant

Matt Carpenter is hardly new to “cheffing” for the masses in a warm and friendly style to his guests at the Deer Harbor Inn Restaurant. On Thursday, April 14, however, he willbe doing it as a Celebrity Chef for the public school.  His menu that day of codfish wraps, home made split pea soup and strawberry shortcake echoes the culinary style of his restaurant background: fresh, filling and fabulous. Vegetarian options will be available.

Matt and his brother, Ryan, took over the restaurant and catering operations of the Deer Harbor Inn in 1998, then purchased the restaurant from their parents, Pam and Craig, in 2006, infusing it with renewed energy and enthusiasm. They are bringing that energy and enthusiasm to our school cafeteria for kids and grownups to enjoy beginning at 11:30 on Thursday, April 14. And what a deal!  The meal also includes the fresh salad bar and a beverage for just $5 for adults.
