ROB MATTOCH: SPAM / COOK-CHILL / SCHOOL LUNCHES THAT DON’T SUCK

In this episode, I’m joined by Rob Mattoch—a chef-turned-equipment-expert who’s out to make kitchens more human. We talk about how he fell into food growing up in Hawai’i, what sparked his transition from the line to the factory floor, and how he’s using smart design and cook-chill systems to reduce burnout and increase consistency in kitchens everywhere.

We also dig into his work with Nourish Colorado, where he’s been helping school kitchens level up for over a decade. From improving kitchen flow to cleaning speed racks (seriously), Rob’s mission is all about making life better for the people behind the food. If you’ve ever wondered how equipment can actually improve your culture—not just your output—this one’s for you.
