There are good restaurants, and there are great restaurants. Then there are restaurants that challenge the entire notion of what a dining experience can be - Matsu, in Oceanside, CA, is this type of restaurant. It is not just a fantastic place for Japanese cuisine - it is as close as one can get to the soul of Japanese culture outside of living there. It is a love letter - an adoring obsession even - to the craft, ingredients, and very ethos of what Japanese fine dining can be, and it is all thanks to Chef William Eick. So, settle in as we dive deep into one of the best restaurants with one of the best chefs in this all-new episode.The Best Ceats Podcast brings unprecedented access to the Orange County hospitality industry each and every episode.
