Matty Matheson & Courtney Storer in conversation with Lisa Donovan
MAD7, Literature, Film & Music, Creativity,
Matty Matheson and Courtney Storer have been close friends for years, but their connection deepened at MAD six years ago.
Today, the supremely dynamic duo works together on The Bear. Courtney serves as culinary producer on the iconic series. Matty works as consultant, producer, actor, and the chef who brings lionhearted authenticity to every kitchen scene. At #MAD7 with Lisa Donovan, they unpack how the show uses intense, theatrical reality to examine human connection.
Their conversation is expansive. They dig into working with actual family while creating chosen family. The vulnerability required in both acting and cooking. How food becomes a character itself—carrying both nostalgia and trauma.
