He frequently ate dinner at my favorite Calgary Italian Restaurant, La Dolce 
Vita, when he was here filming Cool Runnings. Frank, the owner and chef, 
said John ate pretty much the same meal every night: 7 spit roasted chickens 
with all the trimmings!

John preferred to eat in the private dining room downstairs.

Chevy Chase, when here filming Snow Day, would eat with some of the cast and 
crew but turn his chair to face the wall so he didn't have to see people 
staring at him while he ate.

Who says fame is worth it!
