Matty Matheson on Not Wanting to Play a Chef on The Bear & Crazy Things That Happen in Restaurants

Matty talks about all of the awards “The Bear” has won, being a chef but not wanting to play one on the show, helping all of the other actors with how to work in a kitchen, having a very romantic moment with Ebon Moss-Bachrach at the Emmys, learning how to be an actor, all of the crazy things that happen in restaurants, and burning his foot during service.

This is one guy who really deserves all the success coming to him. He's never tried to be anyone but himself for anybody. And it's finally paying off. Awesome.

[@Jim-zr4ej]

finally? this guys been famous for a decade lol

[@saxdave1]

MATTY! You've opened more restaurants and won Emmys. It's time for Just A Dash Season 3!!

[@liamregan4975]

They’re current working on the next season of the bear, wouldn’t be surprise if that comes out this summer to coincide with the release of The Bear szn 3.

Just a dash is the best YT show.

Matty is like if Anthony Bourdain and Chris Farley had a love child. He's awesome.

[@maverickjohnsen]

this!

[@Heybros233]

That’s the most epic description even

[@Natale_Luca_98]

Superbly accurate.

[@adtoes]

Amazingly accurate

[@Sniperboy5551]

They all loved drugs, I guess it makes sense

[@MakersTeleMark]

Matty has come a very long way from a bad drunk to a family, farm, and community man. He is an inspiration. I just don't want those things, but he is an inspiration. I don't have TV, but I love to send my prude sister his cooking youtubes. Go Matty.

[@tylergardner2598]

Met matty back when he was in his small apartment in Toronto, and he was the nicest guy I've met. I told him I've been watching his videos for a long time, and he thanked me and couldn't believe it took the time for multiple pictures and a few minutes to talk about life

[@Del-Lebo]

Mr. Matheson is truly a class act! Brilliant chef, comedian cook KZbinr, great actor and wonderful dad/person!!!! Good on you Matty! I love you so much! What an inspiration and a totally good Man!!!

[@peterogrodnick5693]

He was obviously nervous, but i think he did a tremendous job of just powering through it. I think that’s the most humble I’ve ever seen him on anything ever.

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Mathy got guts. Gotta love HIM😂

[@Sonny1065LV]

Matty is the best, day one fans know how huge this is for him! We love you 🙏🏽

[@mhamid8529]

“Ooooh look at me I’m a day one fan”

[@stephenpaquet]

Matty is so the quintessential Canadian. Beautiful kind fun loving guy with problems. LoL even though he deserves a great amount of praise, he’s never looking for it he’s always going on about his team and how great they are.

[@jesseluke5798]

His boot story is why I LOVED the scene of Clare telling Carmie about the girl who crashed through a glass table. Clare LITERALLY deals with life or death moments every shift and isn’t even an ounce as stressed as Carmie trying to arrange a plate.

[@fabianrosales2253]

He deserves a bigger part on that show he is amazing 🔥

[@randyschwaggins]

As much as I like her, Matty should have been cast in the role Ayo played...

Dude you made a epic that brought me back to my days growing up in Chicago I was glued to the screen it felt so real so human man. Out standing job and seeing you as a Fak 😂 nailed it bro.

I use to live around the corner from Matty Matheson, never ran into him but it was cool to know that he is the friendly Spiderman in the neighborhood of Queen .W

[@christinac9086]

Matty isn't yelling. He's doing so well!

[@SamSpacetrash]

I love that story about burning his foot and kept working. I once cut the top of my thumb off with on some carrots because I was new and didn’t know to sharpen it first. Then (because I was new) I was on a solo double dish shift the next day. The restaurant industry is basically like, if you didn’t completely cus your whole hand off, you have no excuse to not keep going.

[@dgayle17]

Matty is like watching an over-excited, happy kid hahaha. He's terrific.

[@camuscat123]

I have loved watching him for years!!!! I Don’t even have to eat what he makes… even his videos taste amazing

Burned foot story made me miss P&L!

[@nathanarbuckle3180]

From my experience in kitchens the walk-ins have safety measures so you don't get locked in. I imagine they came about from companies getting sued from line cooks freezing to death in walk in freezers.

[@annasmith8040]

Matty ♥️

[@ChosenOne1991]

A chef playing a chef is not acting A chef playing a burnt out mechanic that's acting.

[@kindabluejazz]

What is the expression he uses at 7:38 where he talks about needing to work without another cook? Cooking en margee?

[@ceejer5562]

Garde Manger…its the station in a kitchen that prepares the cold dishes

@@ceejer5562 Thanks - no amount of google searches on 10 different spelling variations suggested that. 🙂It's funny how people drop into using work jargon and don't realize others don't know wth their talking about.

He looks like a used car salesman from the midwest in this lol

You don’t get locked in walk-in’s. All of them come with a method to unfasten the strike from inside.

[@Jroc3578]

Before we leave we check or freezer and we audibly call out. I'm worried a broom or something will fall in the latch somehow. Im thinking i might stash a crowbar or a fire axe in the freezer. Good grip when my hands stick to it.
