No good trip is complete without an iconic meal along the way.

Whether it's the humblest of skewers from the streets of Shanghai or the richest foie gras at a Parisian bistro — food and travel go hand-in-hand.

Travelling across Canada is no other exception. Just ask "Like A Tourist" host Dan Rodo.

"When I came to the East Coast, there were two things I was told to try: fish & chips and scallops," Rodo says.

And if you're going to start somewhere, you might as well pull up a seat at a place with some history, like John's Lunch.

Co-owner Fotis Fatouros has been manning the fryer since 1969, serving up strips of clam, scallops and haddock.

Forty-seven years later, Fatouros is still making things from scratch.
