Matt Schweitzer has spent his entire career working in the restaurant business. His most recent concept, HopDoddy, takes the classic American Burger joint and turns it up a notch. It's a clean, comfortable vibe with friendly staff and amazing food. They source locally from organic and regenerative farms doing things the right way. Matt got into the restaurant industry after graduating college, moving to a ski town, and finding work as staff at a local mountain restaurant. Since then, he has opened several restaurant concepts of his own and learned the ins and outs of the industry. In our conversation with Matt, we discuss:
- The origin story of HopDoddy
- Making it in the restaurant industry
- Removing seed oils: Is it feasible at scale?
- Learning to hunt & valuing the sacred ritual
- Matt's athletic achievements trying to break records

What is The Meat Mafia Podcast?
The Meat Mafia Podcast is hosted by @MeatMafiaBrett and @MeatMafiaHarry.
We're two guys who walked away from the typical path to carve out something different. Based in Austin, we’re on a mission to figure out what it takes to live a fulfilled life in a world that often pushes us away from meaning.
We have conversations with people we believe can help us, diving deep into the pillars of health, wealth, and faith, as the cornerstones of our mission.
Whether it's challenging the modern food system, questioning conventional health advice, or building something from the ground up, we're here to explore the tough questions and share the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
If you're tired of the noise and ready to find meaning, tune in and join us!
