The hometown road trip game only has one rule: pick a single spot to show a first-time visitor, no backup answer allowed. The hosts turn it into a cross-country dare, comparing what actually represents Calgary, Merrickville, and Toronto when there's no room to hedge.

Calgary lands on a tiny burger joint with a two-hour line, Merrickville splits the vote between an apothecary and a glassblowing brewery, and Toronto weighs the ROM against a full afternoon in the distillery district. Then Dawson City crashes the conversation with a cocktail that involves a dehydrated human toe, an official recipe, and a two-thousand-five-hundred-dollar fine for anyone who swallows it. Texted-in answers add Mount Albert's twisted flame wings at the Twisted Fork, Vancouver's Gastown Steam Clock, and Old Montreal's cobblestones to the map.
