Ep 14. Boneheads; Dam Pub; Landmark Cafe

In this episode of You Gotta Eat Here, host John Catucci heads to three unique restaurants in Ontario, Canada.

First up is Boneheads, a funky joint serving up delicious barbecue and craft beer in the heart of downtown Kingston. John meets with the owner, who shares his passion for smoking meats and creating flavor-packed sauces. John tries the pulled pork sandwich and brisket, both cooked low and slow over hickory wood, as well as their famous bacon-wrapped deep-fried pickles. He also samples some of their innovative sides, including mac and cheese topped with crispy fried onions and smoked cheddar.

Next, John heads to the Dam Pub in the picturesque town of Thornbury, located at the base of the Blue Mountains. This cozy Scottish pub boasts an impressive collection of over 600 whiskies from around the world, as well as delicious pub fare with a tartan twist. John meets with the owner, who explains the art of pairing whiskies with food and gives him a tour of their massive whisky wall. He then tries the lamb burger, topped with feta cheese and tzatziki sauce, as well as the mouth-watering haggis fritters.

Finally, John visits the Landmark Cafe in Guelph, a charming cafe located in a historic stone building that dates back to 1828. The owner, a former chef, takes pride in using locally sourced ingredients to create delicious comfort food dishes with a gourmet twist. John tries their famous cornbread waffles topped with fried chicken and apple cider syrup, as well as their maple bacon grilled cheese sandwich and loaded chili cheese fries.

Throughout the episode, John is impressed by the passion and dedication of each restaurant owner and their commitment to providing their customers with high-quality and innovative food.
