It’s a catchphrase that has been spoken across the country, and this week, a Courtenay restaurant will have the honour bestowed on it by You Gotta Eat Here!
The Food Network Canada Show, hosted by comedian John Catucci, is filming part of an episode at the Mad Chef Cafe in downtown Courtenay on Wednesday and Thursday.
The show features Catucci on a quest to discover the best of Canada’s comfort food.
He visits places ranging from greasy joints to legendary restaurants to taste the food and get the story behind the food that has made them famous.
Although the show has frequented restaurants in Victoria, Nanaimo and Tofino, it has never been to the Comox Valley.
The episode is scheduled to air sometime in the new year.
