Matty's Patty's Line Cooks

**Organization Description**

The Matty’s Patty’s (“MP”) concept manifested from a memorable trip to Oahu, Hawaii where Matty Matheson and RVCA founder Pat Tenore launched the Matty’s Patty’s apparel line serving burgers to local youth at a skate park. Matty wanted to do something new and unique and he had the burger recipe to do it. This idea of “showing love” to the community and the desire to constantly recreate this led to a series of successful international burger pop ups. Matty’s Patty’s is proud to be Matty’s first restaurant in his hometown of Toronto.
