I just got back from Earl's which is a restaurant my girlfriend happened upon a number of months ago and go to about once every couple months because we love it there.
Nobody really seems to notice it or rave about it here but we totally loved it, and this time, I noticed a little tiny print in the menu saying "Watch us on Chef at Large March 21st".
So I was surprised, and went home to check it out, and it looks like indeed they filmed our restaurant in our little city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island!:
It's very surprising too since I'm an avid viewer of the Food Network, and have seen many episodes of Michael on Chef at Large and Chef at Home.
Here's an excerpt of the episode airing March 21st:
"Ever wondered why the plate of food in front of you costs $27.99? What goes into the pricing of restaurant food? Earl’s Restaurant is a leading upscale casual dining chain and Michael goes behind the scenes with Earl’s Chef Michael Noble to see for himself what makes that Blackened California New York Striploin cost $27.99. From ingredients to staff to breakage and beyond, a menu item is broken down to show how restaurants set prices. "
