Today’s guests are Matty Matheson and Michelle Rabin, the duo behind “Just A Dash,” the cooking show on Netflix that’s equal parts chaos, comedy, and culinary skill. Matty, the show’s chef, is also a star of “The Bear,” a restaurateur, hardcore band frontman, creator of the Matheson Food Company, husband, and dad. Michelle, meanwhile, is a culinary producer, food stylist, on-screen problem-solver, and occasional voice of reason who helps keep “Just A Dash” from flying completely off the rails. Matty and Michelle join host Kerry Diamond to talk about the making of their show, their longtime friendship, and how “Just A Dash” works because the food is as strong as the chaos is real. They share how they each found their way into this world—Matty through culinary school and Toronto restaurant kitchens, Michelle through some strategic resume embellishment—and what it takes to make a show that ultimately inspires people to cook. Matty also talks about his time on “The Bear” and how he’s feeling about the final season, and Michelle shares news about her upcoming cookbook.
