Matthew James Matheson (born February 7, 1982)[1] is a Canadian chef and internet personality. He was[2] the executive chef of Parts & Labour, a restaurant located in Toronto, Canada which permanently closed on 1 January 2019. Matheson regularly appeared on Vice's show Munchies. He previously hosted Viceland's It's Suppertime! and Dead Set on Life.[3]

Early life

Matheson was born in Saint John, New Brunswick to engineer Stephen and waitress Joan Matheson.[3] He was raised in Fort Erie, Ontario.

Matheson moved to Toronto in 2000 and attended Humber's cooking program. He found he had a talent for butchering meat, and after a short stint on tour as a roadie for his friends' metal band, Matheson continued his culinary career.

Career

Matheson began working at Le Sélect Bistro under chef Rang Nguyen who taught him French culinary techniques. In 2006, Matheson was hired at the restaurant, La Palette. In 2010, Matheson became executive chef at the new Parts & Labour restaurant. His recognition, outgoing and wild personality would lead to his appearance on the show Munchies. He was later hired to host Viceland's It's Suppertime and Dead Set on Life.[4][5] Matheson has also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he showed Jimmy Kimmel how to make a "stuffed shell family recipe".[6]

In October 2018, Matheson released his first cookbook, Matty Matheson: A Cookbook.[7][8] Matheson partnered with Shlomo Buchler for a Pizza restaurant with two locations in Toronto called 'Maker Pizza'.[9][10] Matheson plans on opening a new restaurant on Queen Street in Toronto.[1]

Matheson and artist Alex 2Tone started a podcast titled Powerful Truth Angels in March of 2020.[citation needed]

Personal life

Matheson married his long time girlfriend Trish Spencer in 2014.[11]

Matheson has had a history of past substance abuse. Matheson first tried cocaine in grade 11. His regular use of the drug would lead him to a heart attack at the age of 29.[3] After his heart attack, he quit using drugs and alcohol at the end of 2013. Seven months after becoming sober, Matheson shot his first episode of Keep it Canada.[3]
