Chef talk: Matt Carter of Zinc, Mission

With French bistro Zinc and Latin American restaurant The Mission (and, briefly, Asian eatery Nine 05), it’s hard to imagine chef Matt Carter anywhere but a kitchen.

But he has a pretty good idea what he’d be doing if he hadn’t gone into cooking:

I think that my creative process goes in several directions. I am kind of a gadget geek – computers, audio, TV, optics, guns, illumination devices, basically man toys. I have a few inventions I’m working on now in that general genre, so I think as long as I’m creating, executing and achieving goals I’m pretty happy.
