Adam Matthews was founded in 1983 by Adam Matthew Burckle at age 21. Growing up in Louisville, Adam and his family on special occasions would look forward to and enjoy the hard work of his mother "Nell" when she would bake her famous New York style cheesecake. While attending culinary school Adam missed the flavor and richness of his mother cake so he started baking them at school. The demand from culinary classmates was so large that it caused Adam to consider pursuing his talents in a bakery rather than a restaurant.
