I love Matty Matheson. He is by far my favourite content creator. I have said it numerous times on air both on CBC and Radio-Canada, and I say it here again. He’s real, he’s raw and he’s…Matty. And he inspires me.

You possibly know him too! From Munchies on Vice, his YouTube channel with 1.4 M followers, or one of his restaurants in Toronto. But Matty’s a star on the rise, now producing the Emmy-winning show «The Bear.»

The story is that of a rising star chef who ditches the fancy Michelin scene to take on his family’s struggling Italian beef shop in Chicago. It’s a wild ride of pressure, kitchen chaos, and family drama, all with a dash of trying to make the best damn beef sandwich this side of the Mississippi.

now launching his own food line, the Matheson Food Company! I caught up with him in Chicago to chat about what’s next, on screen and off. Have a listen.
