Steak and Eggs restaurant owner Paul Astephen started counting down the days to the Olympics and Paralympics five years ago when he opened the traditional-style diner in Beijing.

With at least twice as many customers coming into the Canadian's restaurant during the Olympic period, Astephen says he's now ready for more tourists and athletes.

"I just want them to enjoy themselves and give them some good wholesome food so they can play their games and not have to worry about what they're going to eat."
