He’s not much of a snacker

Want to impress Noah Cappe with home cooking? Better make it big. “I’m more of a big meal guy and not so much of a snacker,” he admits. “A lot of people are snackers who like to nibble throughout the day. I’m more of a two-to-three big, over the top, ‘What have I done?’ meals a day kind of guy.”

He's a John Catucci fan

So what if he's already a Food Network Canada star?

He loves animals

“I have two cats - Mr. Gary Wu and Dr. Peter Venkman. One is a refined gentleman, one is a scholar,” says Noah. He got the cats after his dog passed away. “The house felt so empty without that animal presence. We got Gary Wu and fell in love with him. From there, we went to a cat rescue place and rescued Dr. Peter Venkman because he was one of those guys that I don’t think anyone else would have taken.”

Even his romantic moments are about eating

“In September, my wife and I went to Glasgow, Scotland to renew our vows,” says Noah. “We had a little ceremony in Scotland and ate our way through there and headed down to London and did a few days there… If you leave without having fish and chips or bangers and mash, that’s a faux pas!”

He’s pretty casual

 “I’m a super low key, stay-at-home-and-put-my-sweatpants-on, go-to-the-movies kind of guy,” says Noah. “I watch The Bachelor on Monday nights.”

He believes the carnival spirit is universal

 “No matter where you go, there’s an odd familiarity with carnivals and fairs because they are all based on that concept of letting go for a few hours and indulging in all those things that make you feel free and young,” says Noah.
