You Gotta Eat Here! is a Canadian food television series that premiered in January 2012 on Food Network Canada. Produced by Lone Eagle Entertainment, the program is hosted by comedian John Catucci.

He visits restaurants ranging from greasy spoons to legendary locations to taste the food that made them famous, and to meet the characters that make them institutions. Catucci also explores the kitchens to reveal their signature recipes. Most episodes focus on restaurants in Canada or the United States, although Catucci also sometimes visits restaurants in Europe for special themed episodes.
