    Matty Matheson, chef, author and actor who appears on FX’s drama “The Bear” as comic-relief handyman Neil Fak (he’s also a producer and consultant on the Emmy-winning series), will open the first U.S. location of his Matty’s Patty’s Burger Club in Orange County, tentatively scheduled for Friday, Dec. 20.

    Menu-wise, Matty’s Patty’s serves up smashburgers galore, featuring patties of beef (pressed flat onto a griddle to create a thin patty with crispy, lacy edges) and American cheese on sesame seed milk buns, ranging from single to triple stacks. Other fare, at least according to the menu at Matty’s Patty’s Toronto location, includes, fries, onion rings, chili cheese fries, the glory known as poutine, milkshakes and more.

    Matteson, formerly the executive chef of Parts & Labour in Toronto, recently launched a menu at Detroit-based Standby that, according to Eater Detroit, features dishes like coconut shrimp with jerk mayo, mortadella sliders, and Alabama barbecue grilled wings.

    His other ventures include Matheson Cookware and Our House Hospitality Company, a hospitality group based out of Ontario, Canada.
