  • Chef Matty Matheson on Addiction, Politics and Pancakes

    Chef Matty Matheson on Addiction, Politics and Pancakes
    Jan 1 2026
    In 2017, I interviewed Matty Matheson, the John Belushi of the culinary world. Heavily tattooed, irreverent and profoundly talented. Matty rose to fame with his hugely popular VICE TV show, Dead Set on Life. We talked about his recovery from addiction and a heart attack at age 29. Matty has since made a remarkable recovery and now balances a full career that includes a brand new 9,500-square-foot restaurant inside of Hamilton's TD Coliseum, acting and serving as executive producer in multiple television productions, authoring cookbooks, and performing in his punk band, Pig Pen. His ambition and zest for life are truly a wonder!

    I also recommend you watch this heartwarming video of Matty on a kosher food tour of Montreal, accompanied by local legend Rabbi Yisroel Bernath, aka "The Hipster Rabbi." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95mkZCWiLmo

  • Sean Brock: His Friend Tony, Fatherhood and Fried Chicken

    Sean Brock: His Friend Tony, Fatherhood and Fried Chicken
    Dec 4 2025
    American chef Sean Brock's work is a love letter to Southern food. Raised in a small coal town on the Virginia-Kentucky border, Sean has dedicated his craft to studying Appalachian food and hospitality. A great friend to fellow culinary adventurer Anthony Bourdain, the two shared an unforgettable and comical meal at the iconic Waffle House, which you can check out in the Charleston episode of Parts Unknown. Today, Sean runs five restaurants in Nashville and all are dedicated to ingredients indigenous to the American South. I interviewed Sean in 2019. We chatted about his friend Tony, what sets Southern cuisine apart, sobriety and the fine art of making fried chicken.

  • Amanda Cohen, Owner of “Dirt Candy,” Talks Veggies

    Amanda Cohen, Owner of “Dirt Candy,” Talks Veggies
    Nov 20 2025
    Can vegetables be the star of the show at dinner? Chef Amanda Cohen thinks so! In 2008, Amanda opened 'Dirt Candy' – a vegetable-focused restaurant – in New York's Lower East Side. Since then, Dirt Candy has earned a Michelin Star and delighted diners with creativity and flavour in dishes where vegetables take centre stage. I interviewed Amanda in 2016 at the 10th annual Terroir Symposium in Toronto, where she explained her love of vegetables and her no-tipping policy.
