He was contacted by a You Gotta Eat Here! show producer in April about possibly filming a segment. Last week, the restaurant was closed for two days to accommodate the show, although guests were invited to sit in for the taping under steamy conditions due to the TV lights and cam- era's and the open-kitchen layout of the store. "It made for two long days, but hopefully it will pay off in the long run," said Parsons, a George- town native. "You can't pay for advertising like that and if you did it would be a lot of money. We've already seen an increase in business through Facebook and Twitter and just the buzz around town. The show seems to be really popular even with peo- ple who don't have cable at home. The Internet's been a great thing for us." You Gotta Eat Here! was scheduled to spot- light another local foodie hangout across from Christ the King Secondary School, The Mess Hall Poutinerie, last Thursday and Friday, but that visit has been postponed until the fall. Sarah Nixey, story producer, said Lone Eagle Entertainment, which produces the show, has a team of researchers investigating a variety of res- taurants. A restaurant must meet certain criteria such as is it delicious, is it comfort food, is it over- the-top, or does John gets excited about. Catucci is a foodie, who is pretty open to all kinds of good eats, she said. Hungry Hollow was selected be- cause it had good diverse barbecue fare on the menu, she said. Restaurants come to the attention of the re- searchers through a variety of ways, including viewer tips, online reviews, local press. Owners go through a rigorous interview process, and it's all written up in a thick research package that pre- sented and then vetted by the Lone Eagle Produc- ers and The Food Network. Filming is now done across North America, as many of the Canadian viewers ask for American places to visit on their travels. The new season of You Gotta Eat Here! begins in January. Currently the show is airing themed episodes on Fridays at 9 p.m. on The Food Net- work. --With files from Cynthia Gamble Hungry Hollow restaurant featured on You Gotta Eat Here!
