Just a Dash

February 20, 2021 1:01 PM

Just A Dash (Season 1, Season 2) is a cooking show (...for various definitions of "cooking" and "show") starring Matty Matheson.

Fair warning for excessive foul language, shots of half chewed food, screaming, among other things.

Don't miss the less fever-dreamy flavors of Home style cookery.

He can be tolerable in small doses but I was like 100% sure Michelle was his wife for the longest time (she's not) because I could not conceive of anyone else putting up with him for that long.

MICHELLE!

In all fairness, I made his chorizo lasagna. It turned out fantastic.

Tonight, however, his falafel recipe has caused strife. One tablespoon of cayenne is a mountain my mild-palated wife won't traverse. She is still angry as I type.

I recommend the episodes he guested on It's Alive where he and Brad Leone went noodling.

I have to slow watch Matty, because the yelling it does no good for my nerves. But he seems like a great and fun cook, so I keep watching.

Fun guy, good cook, and I could deal with the yelling... But the singing. Oh, the singing.

He's like Action Bronson's negaverse cousin.

Matty Matheson knows how to make otherwise good food almost completely unappetizing solely through the force of his personality.

Yeah Matty is pretty over the top here and the yelling, oof, but you know his first cook book isn't terrible. I stumbled on Matty's book when I started seeing east coast Canadian culinary gifts rappie pie and donair sauce pop up with food writers in the US. Which is a weird thing to me. Like poutine I can understand Americans getting. But rappie pie fans south of the border? That's some strange business. As a Canadian of Acadian descent, trust me there's better things you can do with a potato.

swear and yell about women’s bodies” schtick

Is this a thing with him? I've watched about six videos of him and not seen him do this at all.

Really enjoying his material on YouTube—so far.
