12:21 These came to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee - Perhaps they used to lodge there, in their journey to Jerusalem. Or they might believe, a Galilean would be more ready to serve them herein, than a Jew. Sir - They spake to him, as to one they were little acquainted with. We would see Jesus - A modest request. They could scarce expect that he would now have time to talk with them.

St Andrews in Ann Arbor MI has a John 12 21 quote downstairs and you can see it there something like "come and have breakfast with me". So Jesus shares your fare.
