NICO, AMELIA, MATT & HOWIE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER AT THE MARKET RESTAURANT FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND HAVE NOW COLLABORATED ON A SECOND VENTURE, SHORT & MAIN.

NICO & AMELIA MET AND FELL IN LOVE WHILE COOKING AT CHEZ PANISSE IN BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA. AMELIA SOON LEARNED OF NICO'S PASSION FOR BUILDING, DESIGNING, AND COOKING IN WOOD OVENS. WHEN YOU TALK TO NICO ABOUT WOOD OVENS, THERE IS A PALPABLE EXCITEMENT IN HIS VOICE. HE TAUGHT AMELIA HOW TO COOK IN A WOOD OVEN AT CHEZ PANISSE AND BUILT AN OVEN OF HIS OWN DESIGN IN THEIR BACKYARD IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN THEY LEFT CHEZ PANISSE AFTER SIX YEARS TO OPEN THE MARKET RESTAURANT IN AMELIA'S HOMETOWN OF GLOUCESTER, THEY DEEPLY MISSED COOKING IN WOOD OVENS. OPENING SHORT & MAIN GAVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COOK IN THIS WAY ONCE AGAIN, AND TO SHARE THEIR SKILL AND PASSION WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND RESTAURANT GUESTS.

MATT AND HOWIE WERE PART OF THAT EASTERLY MIGRATION FROM CALIFORNIA TO CAPE ANN. MATT IS THE RESIDENT DESIGNER AND IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE AESTHETIC VISION. HE’S ALSO AN INTEGRAL PRESENCE IN THE DINING ROOM AS THE ENERGETIC AND INVITING HOST. HOWIE IS THE MASTER OF THE EVER-CHANGING BEER AND WINE LIST. HE BRINGS WITH HIM AN EXPERIENCED AND INFORMED PALATE, AND RECENTLY COLLABORATED WITH SCRIBE WINERY IN SONOMA, CA TO CREATE THEIR FIRST ROSÉ. HE IS ALSO EXPERIENCED IN RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE, HAVING SPENT TIME AT CHEZ PANISSE IN BERKELEY AND MARLOW & SONS IN BROOKLYN.

GOING INTO ITS THIRD YEAR, SHORT & MAIN HAS BECOME A THRIVING HUB OF ACTIVITY ON GLOUCESTER'S MAIN STREET. COLLABORATING WITH THE GLOUCESTER FARMER'S MARKET AND BACKYARD GROWER'S PROGRAM, THEY HAVE JOINED IN THE PURSUIT OF COOKING, EATING, AND SERVING FOOD THAT IS SUSTAINABLY GROWN ON THE NORTH SHORE.

PLEASE JOIN THEM FOR A PIZZA, SOME OYSTERS AND FOR ALL OF THE OTHER PLEASURES THAT COME FROM EATING, DRINKING, AND LAUGHING AROUND THE TABLE.
