Canadian food-obsessed funny-man John Catucci visits Argo Café on the Feb. 5 show and Topanga Café on Mar. 16. The Food Network says John rolls up his sleeves and dives into the kitchens of local landmark restaurants to help them cook their signature dishes.John meets the owners, chefs and patrons who make each restaurant a destination youd insist on dragging a friend to. He hears their stories, learns their family traditions and experiences their passion for good food.
