About Matty Matheson

Internationally recognized chef and personality Matty Matheson has been breaking barriers since his cooking debut. His expansive career has brought many opportunities to the chef, restaurateur, two-time New York Times best-selling author (Matty Matheson: A Cookbook and Home Style Cookery), executive producer and television personality. Matty's presence in culture has grown exponentially in recent years as he's developed a number of companies outside the half a dozen restaurants he owns and operates; from his made in Canada workwear apparel brand Rosa Rugosa, to his home goods brand Matheson Cookware and food product brand Matheson Food Company, to his role as an executive producer and actor in the hit TV show The Bear (that recently received 13 Emmy nominations for its second season), Matty has brought his unique personality to the world in a variety of ways with no plans of slowing down any time soon.
