Q&A: What’s something interesting about you that isn’t on your resume? “I tried really hard to be a professional musician.”
When it comes to the carefully crafted menus at One Coastal Restaurant in Fenwick Island, Matthew Kern’s focus on seasonal ingredients and mid-Atlantic goods is key. As owner and executive chef, Kern believes in patience and trusting his gut. Kern, a James Beard-nominated chef and avid fisherman who earned local restaurant fame at Heirloom in Lewes, purchased the farm-to-table restaurant in 2022 with his wife, Karen. Kern previously worked at Rehoboth Beach’s Salt Air and the Blue Moon.
