We had the good fortune of connecting with Matt Hunsicker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Matt, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
It was the desire to meet a need in the community for a value driven 18 hour spot for everyone. It was also an opportunity to create a family entity that provided a career path experience.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
The Derbyshire is the first concept that we’ve opened under the Delectable Group umbrella. Our plan and hope is that the success of the first will lead to the opportunity to open many of the 32 other restaurants that are already created in concept form. The Derbyshire is operated with three key ingredients for success – great ambiance, consistently executed food and beverage offerings, and a friendly group of people to take care of each patron. These ingredients were developed as an operational maxim from many years of management and leadership experience in the retail environment. The overall key will be to establish the Delectable brand of restaurants as THE place to be for every occasion.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would make sure to take a visitor to see the JFK memorial, the Fort Worth Stock Yards, The Star in Frisco, The Derbyshire in Frisco, and play a round of golf at the Omni PGA. I would make sure that we took in some live music as many times as possible either at the Truck Yard in The Colony or Lava Cantina. If in the summer, I would make sure to head out to one of the lakes like Grapevine, Lewisville or Ray Roberts.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My youngest daughter is a crucial element to the development and operation of The Derbyshire. She is also a co-owner and the chef.
