What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Boon Burger Cafe, an all-vegan burger restaurant at 79 Sherbrook Street in Winnipeg, was a stop in the episode "Boon Burger, Jelly Modern Donuts, The Musket" of You Gotta Eat Here! (Food Network Canada), which aired 2012-09-19 according to TVmaze; the TVmaze summary describes it as all-vegan and names no particular burger. CTV Winnipeg reported that the owners opened the cafe in 2010 and would close the Winnipeg location on 2020-01-19, pointing to rising food costs, pressure to offer delivery, and more vegan options elsewhere in the city. In the owners' message as quoted by CTV, they said, "The restaurant business has changed significantly since we opened in 2010." HappyCow's listing for the cafe, last updated 2020-01-27, is marked closed and carries a customer review dated 2020-01-06 about the planned closing.
