The show, focused on “a young chef from the fine dining world (who) returns to Chicago to run his family's sandwich shop,” won the Outstanding Comedy Series category.
Matheson thanked the restaurant and hospitality industry during his acceptance speech, just before Moss-Bachrach interrupted him with a smooch. Matheson said, “I love you, Ebon,” as fellow cast members and the audience laughed and applauded.
“I just love restaurants so much,” Matheson said. “The good, the bad. It's rough. We're all broken inside and every single day we gotta show up and cook and make people feel good by eating something and sitting at a table. It's really beautiful, and all of us here get to make a show together and we get to make people feel good. …It’s beautiful.”
