‘The Bear’ Star Matty Matheson Wants You to Fall in Love With Canada
Matty Matheson is probably the busiest multi-hyphenate in the food industry.
The 41-year-old chef is a renowned restaurateur, cookware and clothing entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling cookbook author. The supremely tatted dad of two is also a ubiquitous, joyful presence across social media, between content shared with his 1.4 million Instagram followers and 1.3 million YouTube subscribers and what feels like daily hits on other food influencers’ pages.
Matheson is also a key figure in the Toronto area’s bustling food scene. He is currently the owner or co-owner of Mexican street food spot Fonda Balam, Vietnamese pho and bánh mì shop Cà Phê Rang, upscale steakhouse Prime Seafood Palace, red-sauce joint Rizzo’s House of Parm, and the self-explanatory Matty’s Patty’s Burger Club.
