Who is Matty Matheson?
Matty Matheson is a Caucasian chef and TV personality. He was born on February 7, 1986, under the sign of Aquarius in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Matty Matheson, who is 32 years old, is arguably best well-known around the world for his prominent role as himself in the television series “Dead Set on Life” and as the proprietor of “Parts and Labour.” During the course of his occasionally successful career as a chef during the past decade, he has achieved a number of other accomplishments as a culinary specialist.
Childhood in Canada
Matty was brought up in the city where he was born by his engineer father Steven Matheson and his waitress mother Joan Matheson. It is unknown how old the other three siblings are or what they do for a living, but he is one of the four children in the family. His brothers’ names are Stephen and Adam, and his sister’s name is Sarah. It is well known that Matty developed an early interest in cooking, despite the fact that he never actually intended to work in the culinary industry. Concerning his educational background, he went to a school in his hometown. It was there, in the 11th grade, that he was pepper-sprayed by a police officer for disorderly behavior. In the year 2000, he made the trip to Toronto and immediately enrolled in the cookery program at Humber College. This was the only school that would take him at the time. Even though Matty was having the best academic year of his life and was on track to graduate with the highest possible grades, he left the school only two weeks before matriculation to go on tour with a group of his friends who had a metal band in Canada. It was here that Matty made the real discovery of cooking and what it meant to him. Matty left the school without ever going back to finish the remaining part of the culinary education that he had been so eager to receive in the beginning.

Matheson was brought on at the restaurant known as La Palette in the year 2006. Matheson was promoted to the position of executive chef at the brand-new Parts & Labour restaurant in the year 2010. Because of his notoriety as well as his gregarious and eccentric nature, he was invited to appear on the show Munchies. Later on, Viceland’s It’s Suppertime and Dead Set on Life both chose to hire him as their host. Additionally, Matheson has been a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The book, titled Matty Matheson: A Cookbook, was published by Matheson for the first time in October of 2018. In the city of Toronto, Matheson intends to launch a brand-new eating establishment on Queen Street.
Personal Life
When it comes to Matty’s romantic endeavors, he has known Trish Matheson Spencer since he was quite young. Despite the fact that he has always had feelings for her, she was initially unsure about whether or not she should date him for a while. Later on, she was inspired by her sister to make the decision that she wanted a relationship, and she and her partner eventually got married at the home of Trish’s aunt and uncle in Port Dover in August of 2014. As for what his wife does for a living, she is a co-owner of the wedding shop located in Ossington in the city of Toronto and it is named Lovers Land. MacArthur, the couple’s son, was born in March of 2016, and he was named after his father. Their engagement and subsequent marriage have not been the subject of any debate.
Matheson relocated his family to a farm in his hometown of Fort Erie, Ontario, which is approximately 90 miles away from the metropolis of Toronto, where he had lived since the year 2000. He moved to the farm with his wife and their young children. Just a Dash is a self-produced cooking show that he started producing and filming in his own kitchen last fall. The show is a bit like Julia Child but focuses on cooking with mushrooms. That is to say, with Matty’s manic energy and some off-the-charts editing hilarity, it reveals the sham that is culinary programs. In other words, it takes the veil off of the cooking show industry.
