Meet Your ChefI'm Matthew Meehan, a private chef based in Boone, NC. I've spent years crafting elevated dining experiences for vacation groups, celebrations, and retreats across the High Country.Summit Plate was built on one idea: the best meal of your trip shouldn't require a reservation or a drive down the mountain. Every menu is built around your group. Every detail is handled by me — from planning to the last plate.Serving Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and the surrounding High Country.
A Taste of What's PossibleSeasonal Prix Fixe ExperienceSeared Sirloin · Red Wine Demi
Charred Asparagus · Seasonal Accompaniments · Mediterranean Mezze · Fresh Garden Elements · Lemon Olive Oil CakeEvery menu is thoughtfully curated around your group, your setting, and the experience you want to create. No two dinners are ever the same—only tailored, elevated, and executed with intention.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Wonderful experience! We booked a dinner for a girls mountain weekend, and it was a perfect way to relax and enjoy the end of our trip. Working with Chef Matthew was easy to build a great menu — we spent some time ahead of the meal talking about what everyone likes and a restaurant we enjoy as inspiration. Everything tasted amazing and we even had leftovers to enjoy the next day! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dinner experience for friends, family or guests."— Kelly G., verified Google review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"We had a great dining experience with Matt! He was so responsive and helpful when we reached out about cooking a meal for our Bachelorette weekend. He gave excellent options and suggestions and was able to accommodate dietary restrictions. The food he prepared was served beautifully and was absolutely delicious! I would absolutely recommend him for your next get together!!"— Nikki P., verified Google review---⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Matthew is an incredibly innovative chef. First class in every way.
