John has red-velvet pancakes for breakfast, a pig-in-a-blanket sandwich, and chicken-and-shrimp "ciao" mein.

The host travels to Niagara Falls, Ont., for the Regal Diner's sausage butties served with an omelet made of bacon, tomato, onion and cheddar cheese. Also: He eats "big kid" macaroni and cheese at the Mile One Eating House in Pemberton, B.C.; and tries an ox tongue sandwich with a side of bone marrow.
