Matty Matheson Ruins My Morning

MUNCHIES put out a video of Matty Matheson—the Toronto chef and self-styled burger obsessive who ran Parts and Labour—making what he considers the perfect cheeseburger. Quality meat, careful technique, the kind of attention that turns a simple thing into a statement. It’s exactly the type of food content that functions as pure masochism: I watched the whole thing sitting next to the saddest cheese sandwich I’ve ever assembled, and I genuinely considered putting my head down on the table and staying there.
