Where are they now: ‘MasterChef Australia’ 2016 runner-up Matt Sinclair flourishes into a successful food truck owner

It’s only been two months since Matt Sinclair landed on second place in “MasterChef Australia” 2016, but the former coffee roaster is already making his food dreams come true.

The 27-year-old budding chef recently opened his own food truck, called Ten Piece Cutlery, alongside his business partner Moe Rickard. Moe is a fully qualified chef of 16 years who has worked with many different cuisines and has spent time cooking in Asia. Parked at Hamilton’s Eat Street Markets, their food truck serves flavourful, delectable Asian-inspired street food every weekend.

Owning a food truck has always been Matt’s dream, and he experienced working on one while competing in “MasterChef Australia.” [READ: “Prawn’s ‘poo vein’ puts Brett, Harry and Mimi on the chopping block”] After ending up as the runner-up in the culinary competition, Matt headed to Wood Fire Grill at Noosa, where he trained for the past few months.

Matt's personal Instagram account is filled with updates on Ten Piece Cutlery, from its beginnings, to its launch and now, to its current success.  In one Instagram post, Matt posted a photo of him eating heartily with his wife, Jess. He captioned the image, “Never let anyone tell you that [your] dreams aren’t big enough… if they mean something to you, chase them!!”
