Matthew Gladstone Gourmet Foods was created in December of 1994. After many years of practicing his craft on the "home stage," and then working in the kitchens of some of San Diego's finest restaurants, Matthew H. Gladstone was determined to turn his life-time passion into a reality.

Armed with nothing more than the neurotic, driving persistence for excellence from which he has never wavered, Matthew Gladstone Gourmet Foods was created in order to give the client an option from the mediocre and average that had become the standard "catered" party.

MGGF began as an alternative for clients that were accustomed to the best of everything in their homes, but who were forced to compromise on food quality and design when they entertained guests.

MGGF creates the finest foods and epicurean experiences equaling any of the most premium restaurants in the country. Whether creating eleven-course fusion wine-tasting plated dinners, complete with cutting edge award-winning florals, the finest China in the world, and gorgeous draping linens, or pushing the culinary envelope with dozens of tray-passed small foods with immense flavors, Matthew Gladstone stands out above the rest when it comes to the standards of catering. Matthew Gladstone is not only a premier caterer and restaurantuer, but is also a proficient violinist with a passion for all things creative and interesting.
