He’s not much of a snacker
<p>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.”</p> -

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

He loves animals
<p>“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. <p>“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.”</p> -

Even his romantic moments are about eating
<p>“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!”</p> -

<p> “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 <em>The Bachelor</em> on Monday nights.”</p> -

He believes the carnival spirit is universal
<p> “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.</p> -
