Matt Wonski

Matt discovered his love for the culinary world at the age of eleven, while helping his father, Tony Wonski, in the family business. He spent his earlier days peeling eggs, mopping floors, cutting cabbage, and washing dishes at the Town Hall Delicatessen, while learning everything he could about the details of running a business. He held virtually every role in the Delicatessen before taking the helm after graduating from Montclair State University in 2013, with a degree in Nutrition and Management.

His nearly two decades in the food industry have given Matt extensive experience - from purchasing to human resources, customer service, training, food safety and maintenance, as well as innovating and introducing new food offerings.

When Matt attended SHP, he bought breakfast and lunch daily. While the options that were available to Prep students were far better than neighboring schools, there was something missing; that something was the feeling of a home-cooked meal… real food, starting with natural ingredients- meals made from scratch. Matt is focused on evolving the offering while keeping that in mind. He is immensely proud to be continuing the tradition of excellence that was instilled in him as a student at SHP.
