Food Fight with the NEPA Street Scene | Car Clubs, Cruise Nights & Growing Up in NEPA

This week, I sit down with the crew from NEPA Street Scene to talk about the car culture that continues to thrive throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. We dive into how their organization was formed, the growth of local car clubs over the years, and what it was like growing up in NEPA when cruising Main Street and local car meets were a big part of the community. We also talk about some of our favorite cars, the passion that keeps enthusiasts connected, and the upcoming shows and events they’re bringing to the area. Whether you’re a lifelong gearhead or just enjoy hearing local stories, this episode is a great conversation about community, nostalgia, and the people keeping car culture alive in Northeastern Pennsylvania. 🎙️ Watch now on YouTube and follow DiMattia’s Food Fight Podcast for more local stories, local people, and the communities that make NEPA special. #FoodFight #NEPAStreetScene #Podcast #NEPA #CarCulture #PennsylvaniaCars #DiMattiasFoodFightPodcast Thank You To My Sponsors!

The Refining of Chef Chad Gelso: From Pittston to Europe, Hell’s Kitchen, and Home Again. | Ep.103

This week on DiMattia’s Food Fight, I sit down with Chef Chad Gelso of The Refinery. We talk about growing up in the Oregon section of Pittston, leaving America after high school to travel and work throughout Europe, and learning from chefs and kitchens along the way. From there, Chad takes us through his years in Philadelphia’s food scene before eventually returning home to NEPA to help elevate dining in his hometown. As a longtime fan of Hell’s Kitchen, I was especially curious about his experience on the show, and Chad gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it was really like competing under Gordon Ramsay. Most importantly, we talk about the role food plays in our lives. Food brings people together. It creates memories, celebrates milestones, comforts us during difficult times, and connects us to our families, cultures, and communities. It’s a conversation about food, family, travel, hard work, and finding your way back home. Full episodes available Wednesday at 8:15 PM on YouTube (same name as this page) and everywhere you listen to podcasts. 🍽️🥊 Thank You To My Sponsors!

Build-N-Athlete: BUILDING ATHLETES FOR OUR COMMUNITY! | Episode 101

On this episode of the DiMattia’s Food Fight Podcast, I sit down with the team from Build‑N‑Athlete to talk about the importance of youth sports and the impact they can have on a child’s life. Not every family has the financial ability to afford registration fees, uniforms, or equipment costs for their children to play sports — and that’s where Build-N-Athlete steps in for the community. Their mission is to help break financial barriers so every child has the opportunity to play, grow, and succeed through sports. We talk about community, opportunity, mentorship, and why investing in kids through athletics can change lives both on and off the field. Building one athlete at a time for the community.

100 FOOD FIGHTS: BACK AT THE TABLE! | Episode 100 Part 2.

For part two of episode 100, Mike joins me again along with my partner in the Food Fight Podcast, Frank Sepko. We talk about the beginning of it all — me walking into ConversionWorx Media just looking for someone to edit my videos… and somehow walking out with a partnership and a booked studio that helped launch a whole new era of Food Fight. The transformation from Food Fight Podcast to DiMattia’s Food Fight Podcast brought the brand full circle. We also dig into diets in America, and Frank talks about one of his biggest passions right now — becoming healthier day after day through the carnivore diet and changing his lifestyle. Join us for part two of episode 100… and join us for the next 100 episodes.

100 Food Fights | Michael Grevera | From Hidden Episodes to Episode 100 🎙️🥊

100 EPISODES. 🎙️💥 Episode 100 of the Food Fight Podcast is officially here - and it only felt right to make it a two-part episode with one of my best friends, Michael Grevera. Mike has been a huge part of this journey. Before the studio setup, before everything started growing, there were 37 original episodes that most people will never see again. 😂 After that chapter ended, we kept the podcast alive by recording about 10 episodes right in my kitchen before eventually making the move over to ConversionWorx Media. Just over two years ago, Mike walked through the doors of Good Tree MMA - and now he probably regrets becoming my friend because he can’t get rid of me. Lol. Over time, we built a friendship through Brazilian jiu-jitsu, food, business ideas, and a shared mindset of pushing forward no matter what life throws at you. Together, we became a quick 1-2 punch in the NEPA food scene with food reviews, local content, and bringing personality into everything we do. Mike also talks about launching his new platform, Tasty Takedowns - focused on making food more balanced and realistic, showing people healthier ways to enjoy the foods they already love while building consistency instead of restriction. We also dive into his background serving in the military, being a veteran, and how Brazilian jiu-jitsu helped shape his life mentally and physically through different chapters of life. Most importantly, this episode is a reflection on the journey - from the early hidden episodes… to my kitchen… to building something real with ConversionWorx Media… and the first 100 episodes of the Food Fight Podcast. Full episode available on YouTube (same name as this page) and everywhere you listen to podcasts. What’s Your Order?! Join the fight. Thank You To My Sponsors!
