Matt Basile

Founder, Fidel Gastro’s

Matt Basile believes food should be fun, and that in the food business you have to do things

differently to be memorable. The creator of the Toronto-based street food brand Fidel Gastro’s, Basile started his career in advertising as a copywriter, but when he was just 26 years old, he left it all to host his first underground popup in Toronto. Now, Fidel Gastro’s has grown from a fold-up table to a food empire receiving national and international attention.

Under the Fidel Gastro’s brand, Basile operates one of Canada’s most recognizable food trucks and for six phenomenal years ran the gastro pub, Lisa Marie. It was featured on various TV series, including You Gotta Eat Here! and Chef In The City, and was also ranked as the ninth best brunch spot in Canada by OpenTable magazine.

In addition, Basile hosted the reality television show Rebel Without a Kitchen, which aired on

Netflix, Travel and Escape Channel, the Cooking Channel, and the Asian Food Channel. He also hosts original cooking shows on YouTube that include Chefs In Cars Getting Takeout, Date Night with Grandma, YAAAA Brunch, and much more!

Basile and his partner, Kyla Zanardi, are the bestselling authors of two cookbooks: Street Food Diaries and, most recently, Brunch Life. He is also a food writer for both The Huffington Post and Vice, and a regular guest on programs such as Global Morning and Breakfast Television.

In 2015, Basile was nominated for a coveted Canadian Screen Award for Best Host of a

Canadian Reality Series.

Graham Chittenden

Comedian | Emcee | Host

Fresh and clean…but still relentlessly funny, Graham Chittenden is one of Canada’s most exciting comedic performers. A familiar face at the Just For Laughs festival, on television and on the radio in programs such as Match Game and The Debaters, Graham has shared tours and stages with Howie Mandel, Andrea Martin, and Louie Anderson (to name just a few). And when it comes to corporate audiences, Graham never disappoints, boasting performances for clients ranging from the Foundation Fighting Blindness to the Ontario Home Builders Association.

Graham has appeared in numerous comedy specials, including his own award-nominated stand up show on The Comedy Network. Graham also spent time as a host of MTV Canada where he deliberated over current events and interviewed the likes of Aziz Ansari and Bill Burr.

Graham has written for The Debaters, The Genie Awards, and Mr. D on CBC and now travels extensively as a writer for the critically acclaimed CBC show Still Standing, a series that seeks out small towns with interesting origins and turns it all into stand-up comedy.
