Ep 32. Klondike Rib and Salmon, Colette's Place, Sofra

You Gotta Eat Here season 1 episode 32 takes viewers to three unique eateries: Klondike Rib and Salmon in Whitehorse, Colette's Place in Haliburton, and Sofra in Toronto. Host John Catucci begins his journey in Whitehorse, where he visits Klondike Rib and Salmon. This cozy little restaurant serves up hearty portions of Yukon-inspired dishes, and John tries their famous grilled salmon and fall-off-the-bone ribs. He also learns about the restaurant's connection to the region's history and culture, which includes the Klondike Gold Rush.

Next, John travels to Haliburton to visit Colette's Place. This charming restaurant is run by mother-daughter duo Colette and Sarah, who serve up classic Canadian comfort food with a twist.

He also gets a behind-the-scenes look at how they make their fresh pies and desserts.

Finally, John heads to Toronto to visit Sofra, a Turkish bakery and cafe. Here, he gets a taste of traditional Turkish dishes like borek (puff pastry filled with cheese and spinach) and simit (a type of Turkish bagel). He also samples some of their unique baked goods, including a savory pastry filled with lamb and onions, and a sweet dessert made with pumpkin and walnuts.

Throughout the episode, John meets the passionate and dedicated people behind each restaurant and learns about the stories and traditions that inspire their cooking. From the natural beauty of the Yukon to the cozy hospitality of small-town Ontario, You Gotta Eat Here season 1 episode 32 offers a diverse and flavorful taste of Canada's culinary scene.
