Toronto actor Carlo Rota stars as the traveling host of The Great Canadian Food Show. In each episode he rockets across the country with three burning desires; great food, excellent company and to answer the question " Why am I always hungry?".

Carlo spent many years in the restaurant business in London, New York and Toronto before becoming an actor (".......sort of did it backwards......") He also has the benefit of being son of acclaimed chef Dante Rota.

"Love doing this show" says Carlo. "The food, the people, and it's one of the few T.V. projects I do where I don't get killed in the script."

Carlo's other numerous T.V. and film credits include regular roles on 24, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Traders, La Femme Nikita, Thirty Two Short Films on Glenn Gould, Mission to Mars, and The Boondock Saints.

" I'm a Canadian-English-Italian. We are an odd people. Nomadic, gregarious, thirsty. Always optimistic that here is a superb dinner to be had just around the next corner."
