What Does He Do?
We already know that Matty Matheson is a chef and makes appearances on television, but what exactly does he do, and how has it contributed to his net worth?
It is a journey that began 18 years after he was born on the 7th of February, 1982 in Saint John, New Brunswick in Canada. He moved to Toronto from Ontario where he had spent the bulk of his formative years. At Toronto, Matty Matheson began learning in the Humber’s cooking program during which he discovered a latent talent for butchering meat. However, he did not last in the program and he dropped out to tour Canada.
He eventually returned to the life of cooking and began working at Le Select Bistro where he learned French culinary techniques under the chef, Rang Nguyen. By 2006, he had graduated under Rang and became a full-time staff of La Palette. Four years after he joined La Palette, he became an executive chef at Parts & Labour restaurant. At Parts & Labour, where Matty Matheson’s career and net worth noticeably grew, he also gained a reputation for his outgoing and often wild personality, one that had defined his life since he was in high school where he tried cocaine in 11th grade.
This reputation led him to his first appearance on television, in the show, Munchies. His performance on the show reinforced the belief he had the talent for TV and he was contracted to host, Dead Set on Life, a show by Viceland. He hosted Dead Set on Life, a culinary travel show where he traveled around Canada, learning how to make different kinds of meals and eating them. He hosted the show for 24 episodes between 2016 and 2017,
