BTS: Inside Matty's Chicago Fridge
Matty is in Chicago filming the next season of *The Bear*. We want to know what he bought for his fridge. What items did he choose to feel at home and cook his daily meals? Let's dive in!

Matty's Fridge Essentials
- Coffee: First thing is first, make sure to set yourself up for the day with the good stuff done right. I'm a simple guy. A Pour Over coffee in the Matheson Set with Rink Drink is a nice way to wake up. It takes minimal effort.
- Eggs: Boilers mainly. I like them at 6 minutes but you do you. I throw a bunch of these in the pot keeping them on hand for a post-pump for the week.
- Olive Oil: Definitely a kitchen staple. I don't mess around and stick to a quality oil like Frankie's.
- Chili Crisp: Makes everything taste better. Fly by Jing is a banger.
- Giardiniera: This choice is very Chicago, but I like it so much it's in the kitchen in Fort Erie too! Plus, I’m ordering a lot of post-shoot day hot dogs to the condo.

- Matheson Food Co. Mac & Cheese: Call me biased, but it is a superior boxed mac. Want to get crazy? Put some of that Chili Crisp on it!
- Mayonnaise: I’m a Hellman’s guy, and I'm cooking for one in Chicago, two if Ricky or Ebon comes over. I'm making sandwiches and easy stuff like tuna melts—I’m a big fan.
- Roasted Chicken: I go for that grocery store cooked, hot and ready. It's salty, it's easy, and it's perfect to eat alone.
- Non-Alcoholic Beer: Still sober and still love ending a full day of imposter syndrome with a cold Peroni 0.0%.
- Dark Chocolate: Or at least I try to keep it dark. Full disclosure: sometimes it's a Crunchie Bar or a KitKat, but we don't judge. The fridge should be a safe space.
