Matthew James Matheson (born February 7, 1982)^[1] is a Canadian chef, restaurateur, actor and internet personality. He portrays the handyman Neil Fak on the FX series The Bear.

Matheson was the executive chef of Parts & Labour,^[2] a restaurant located in Toronto, Ontario, which permanently closed on January 1, 2019. Matheson has since started Matty's Patty's Burger Club, a takeout restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, which opened in December 2020.^[3] In April 2022, Matheson opened Prime Seafood Palace, which is also located in Toronto.^[4] Matheson regularly appeared on Vice's show Munchies. He previously hosted Viceland's It's Suppertime! and Dead Set on Life.^[5]

Early life

Matheson was born in Saint John, New Brunswick; his parents are engineer Stephen and waitress Joan Matheson.^[5] The family lived in Nova Scotia until Matheson turned 11,^[6] when they moved to Fort Erie, Ontario.^[7] Before moving to Ontario, Matheson had grown up as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; however, the family left the church when leaving Nova Scotia.^[8]^[9] Matheson's grandfather was a restaurateur and former RCMP officer from Prince Edward Island, the family having roots in PEI dating back to the 1700s. His grandfather owned and operated The Blue Goose restaurant in DeSable, where Matty would spend his summers.^[10]

Matheson moved to Toronto in 2000 and attended Humber College's cooking program. To serve a short stint as a roadie for his friends' metal band, he dropped out of the program before graduating. However, Matheson found he had a talent for butchering meat, and he continued his culinary career by handing out resumes to random restaurants until he found employment.^[7]

Matheson began working at Le Sélect Bistro in Toronto in 2003 under chef Rang Nguyen, who taught him French culinary techniques. In 2006, Matheson was hired at the restaurant La Palette.^[7] In 2010, Matheson became executive chef at the new Parts & Labour restaurant until it closed in 2019. His recognition, along with his outgoing and wild personality, would lead to his appearance on the online show Munchies by Vice Media.

In October 2020, Matheson opened another pop-up restaurant in Toronto, a continuation of Matty's Patty's,^[20] which was originally located in Hawaii with a short stint in Shibuya, Japan.^[21] Matty's Patty's opened a permanent location in the Trinity-Bellwoods neighbourhood in Toronto in December 2020.^[3]^[22]

In January 2022, Matheson teamed up with his mentor and friend Rang Nguyen and opened Ca Phe Rang, a Vietnamese restaurant serving pho and bánh mì. The restaurant opened where Birria Balam had been previously, in Chinatown, Toronto.^[24]^[25]

In April 2022, Matheson opened Prime Seafood Palace, a steakhouse and seafood restaurant in Trinity-Bellwoods, Toronto. Matheson had been working on opening the restaurant since 2016.^[26]^[27]^[28]^[29]^[30]

In November 2022, Matheson opened Rizzo's House of Parm, a restaurant serving old-school Italian-American cuisine, at Crystal Beach in Fort Erie, Ontario.

Matheson has incorporated all of his restaurants into his company, Our House Hospitality Company.^[29]^[33]
