Los Angeles, CA (April 26, 2022)– PS, the private luxury terminal service for commercial flights currently at LAX, announces the opening of their kitchen and appointment of the new Executive Chef, Matt Roman.

Chef Matt Roman brings over two decades of experience, mastering and refining his craft at some of the best restaurants in Southern California. Graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in 2004, one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the world, Chef Matt went on to cut his teeth in the state’s finest restaurants, including The Napa Rose, The Cellar, Haven Gastropub, Benchmark Restaurant and more.

Chef Matt draws inspiration from the State’s natural resources and its tastemakers of cuisine. With the bounty of seasonal produce and local farmer’s markets, his goal is to be a part of the development of the local culinary scene, while exploring and delivering his passion for connectivity through food. As Executive Chef at PS, Matt brings the highest level of service and creativity to a globally inspired seasonal menu that is equally influenced by travel and a sense of place. By partnering with local businesses, exploring new cuisines, and collaborating with his team, Matt’s culinary vision will connect travelers with the spirit of Los Angeles as well as the flavors of European staples.

“Cuisine is often a love language for many and cooking, is mine. Paired with my love of travel, I view food as a way to experience the world. I’m excited to join the PS team to bring my passions together to inspire our guests as they begin their journey or provide warmth and familiarity to welcome them home,” said Matt Roman, Executive Chef at PS. “Different cultures and locations around the globe inspire me, and I like to explore connecting themes from different cuisines and then push those ideas through a filter of Californian seasonality with a personal touch.”

Signature dishes include hyper-seasonal and technically rich plates that are elevated, enticing, and available “to-go” for customers to enjoy within their Private Suite, The Salon, on the plane or indulge at home. From Pan Roasted Salmon to Herb Marinated Hanger Steak and the Chef’s signature style Beet Salad with pistachio and blackberries, Chef Matt brings comfort and warmth to guests traveling through PS by offering his own interpretation of the luxury travel experience.

“At PS, we are continuously enhancing all elements of the experience and, given the rebound in travel, we felt it apropos to celebrate by revisiting our food and beverage program. We wanted to work with someone who embodies all things LA – creative, warm, laid back, and elevated. We are thrilled to have Matt Roman on board as our new Executive Chef and look forward to sharing his talent with our Members. His menu will be a welcomed addition to our other culinary offerings like local favorite Alfred’s coffee, seasonal mixology cocktails, and sommelier-certified wine pairings.” – Amina Porter, Co-CEO at PS

In addition to an extensive menu of chef-prepared meals and cocktails available for both departures and arrivals, the PS experience includes several other surprise and delight moments like complimentary caviar freshly flown from Italy, off-menu amuse-bouche passed throughout the day, and warm freshly baked homemade cookies and milk for those travelling with children.
