Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The restaurant was named after a real Vancouver spot, though filming happened on a soundstage that crew members said smelled permanently of garlic.
Godiva's arrived the same year as Kitchen Confidential's failed US adaptation, proving Canada could do food TV drama better with one-tenth the budget. CHUM still killed it.
