""It's hard to be Matty's food stylist because he's a great chef," she says. "His process is a bit ... flawed, but the end result is always beautiful food." And, as the show's culinary producer, Rabin really is the person who makes sure that food looks as beautiful as possible. "When you see my stress, that's real," says the Toronto resident, who was recently in town for a few days of eating. "Like, we're in the RV and the eggs fall and I'm like, 'We fucking needed that egg.'""
"I land in New York at 5:30 p.m., delayed, starving, and already mentally sipping on a cocktail. I didn't pack snacks - a mistake that somehow never feels avoidable. Flights are still getting settled after the snowstorm, and I stress at the airport. We do customs for the U.S. in Canada, and I always worry they're going to be like, "Not today, babe.""
Just a Dash began on YouTube and follows Matty Matheson as he attempts to produce perfect dump-and-stir instructional meals in chaotic settings. Episodes emphasize improvisation, with examples like making a steak dinner in an out-of-control RV and preparing breakfast burritos after production is barred from the host's home. Michelle Rabin functions as the on-camera food stylist and culinary producer, acting as Matheson's foil and ensuring finished dishes look beautiful despite his flawed process. A travel vignette recounts a delayed arrival in New York, hunger after a snow-affected flight, and a visit to Rolo's ordering lasagna, a double cheeseburger, martinis, and a salad.
