Matt Storch Gets Chopped

Matt Storch is a hometown hero.

The 1995 Staples High School graduate has won raves from area diners with restaurants like Match in South Norwalk, and Saugatuck’s new Match Burger Lobster.

Now the rest of the country can see the chef’s magic too.

This Tuesday (April 24), he’s featured on the Food Network’s Chopped. The battle begins at 10 p.m.

But you don’t have to watch it alone, curled up with a gallon of ice cream in front of the TV.

Match in SoNo is hosting a viewing party. A late-night happy hour begins at 9 p.m. At 10, they’ll show the show on a big-screen TV.

The show was taped a while ago. Of course, Matt is not allowed to tell anyone how he did.

But win or lose, Westport knows the rest of the country is no match for Matt Storch.

Matt Storch is ready to rumble.

According to CT Bites, the new restaurant features fresh seafood from Norm Bloom and Son, and “Northeast pasture-raised and humanely-handled beef, ground daily at Fleishers.”

The menu includes lobster rolls, whole lobsters, a variety of burgers, local Copps Island oysters, Fleishers hot dogs, onion rings, donut milk shakes, wine and beer.

Storch’s “Match Burger” is be available in regular and mini versions — plus one that’s butter-dipped.

Fans of the butcher shop and restaurant can walk easily back and forth. Match Burger and Lobster will offer both table service and takeout.
