Below Deck: What Chef Matt Burns Has Been Doing Since Season 5

Matt Burns rocked the charter guests’ tastebuds with his culinary skills on Below Deck season 5, and fans have been wondering what he’s been up to since appearing on the show. Bravo viewers are well-aware that chefs are some of the most fragile crew members on the yacht. However, Matt did seem to hold his own while appearing on the series. Alas, given how long it’s been since Chef Matt made his reality TV debut, many fans are eager to catch up with him.

Chef Matt gained international notoriety after appearing on Below Deck alongside Captain Lee Rosbach. He walked onto the yacht with more than 10 years of experience in the restaurant industry. At the time, Matt had also already been working as an executive yacht chef for six years. From the very beginning, Matt made it clear that he was passionate about the quality of his food and maintained high standards when cooking. Throughout his career, Matt was able to travel all over the world and work for famous athletes, Hollywood stars, and high-profile executives. Thanks to his traveling, he learned how to cook cuisines from around the world, which was exciting for his guests.

Despite gaining a large following during his stint on Below Deck season 5, Chef Matt isn’t particularly active on social media. In fact, Matt’s most recent post on Instagram was shared 12 weeks ago. Overall, he appears to be living in Canada again, possibly due to the US border closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, Matt’s IG followers can still see him cooking up delicious meals and getting into adventures from time to time, such as sightseeing in Ottawa. Matt also announced that he was going to start a YouTube channel, but the chef has no active channel on YouTube as of this writing.

Otherwise, it seems like Chef Matt still keeps up with the Below Deck franchise on TV. In fact, he recently shared some praise on social media for Below Deck Mediterranean star Mathew Shea following the chef’s on-screen nervous breakdown. Chef Matt knows the challenges of being a private chef firsthand, so he certainly empathized with Chef Mathew. As for his personal life, Chef Matt appears to be in a serious relationship, but he has yet to share his partner’s name on social media.

Chef Matt’s low profile on social media has kept him mostly out of the public eye, which he seems to enjoy. However, his Instagram profile makes it clear that Chef Matt is still cooking up a storm and using new trends to infuse into his culinary creations. It’s unlikely that Chef Matt will be back on Below Deck or on reality TV anytime soon, but fans can keep up with his personal life and culinary creations on social media. One thing is certain: Chef Matt’s IG followers show much more appreciation for his cooking skills than the guests he used to serve on a yacht.
