Matt Burgess, aka Matblak, is a live-fire chef, storyteller and founder of Kai by Matblak. Born in Aotearoa New Zealand and forged in the kitchens of London, Matt has spent over three decades cooking across restaurants, festivals and open flames.
Known for bold flavour, smoke-driven cooking and a deep connection to Māori food philosophy, his work brings together fire, heritage and modern technique. Whether cooking over Big Green Egg, OFYR or open coals, Matt’s food is about connection. To land. To people. To story.
From intimate supper clubs to large-scale festival feasts, he cooks with intensity, generosity and purpose.
