Meet Our Chef
Chef Alonso Beckford
Self-motivated culinary leader with an innate ability to interact with people of various cultures and backgrounds. Chef Alonso Beckford was introduced to baking by his Godmother, who he attributes his curiosity and deep interest in cooking.
Originally from Jamaica, his family emigrated to New York where he brought flavors from his Caribbean roots while exposing his culinary skills in French, Asian, Italian, Greek and American cuisines. Along with formal schooling at Johnson and Wales in Miami, Chef Alonso cut his teeth in kitchens in New York, Atlanta, Orlando and Chicago.
His love for art, multi-culturalism, education in food nutrition and simply bringing folks together over a thoughtful meal is what Chef Alonso loves most. He is thrilled to bring his craft to The Matrix Room, presenting contemporary global cuisine highlighting flavor profiles from around the world.
