Matt and Sonjia Spector (left) have sold their half-interest in Matyson, their much-honored Center City BYOB and they're headed to the California Wine Country. Where? Matt Spector, the Cherry Hill-raised chef, was not sure. "It's been a dream of ours," he said. The restaurant, he says, will be left in capable hands: Ben Puchowitz, Matt's cousin and an employee since Day One, and Brian Lofink, their sous chef. Puchowitz's father, Butch, now owns the place. "This is a good opportunity for those guys to keep it going and put their own flair on it," Matt Spector says.
