Matthew Sullivan began his culinary career attending and graduating from Stratford Chefs School. His passion for food has landed him in high-profile kitchens around the world, including Michelin starred restaurants in New York and England. After a long stint in fine dining, Sullivan moved over to Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and became their Corporate Executive Chef. Here he ushered in a new philosophy around classic game night fare, reimagined with modern techniques for a rotating seasonal menu. After leaving MLSE, Sullivan continued working for top companies in the industry, and recently was the private chef for recording artist Drake. When not behind the stove at restaurants, the chef has been known to make appearances at renowned gastronomic competitions such as Gold Medal Plates (winner of the 2019 People’s Choice Award) and on The Food Network, the channel that saw him crowned champion on Chopped Canada and cheered on as the running favourite to win Top Chef Canada season 6. Sullivan loves many things in life, but mostly his family and pizza (he is the chef behind the pandemic-born ghost kitchen, Mel’s, voted among the best pizzas in the city by Toronto Life). In his spare time, Sullivan also enjoys sharing his passion for pizza online where he has amassed 300,000 followers and over 50,000,000 views.
