What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

The 2012-09-21 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (season 1, episode 22), as summarized by TVmaze, included the Chuckwagon Cafe in Turner Valley, Alberta, without naming a dish. The cafe operates from a small red barn on Sunset Boulevard NW along the Cowboy Trail in Alberta's foothills. Daily Hive reported on 2025-11-15 that the restaurant is more than 50 years old, changed hands about 27 years earlier, serves only Alberta beef, and is known for steak and eggs, a cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms and bacon, and banana cream pie; the article described it as open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week and gave the address as 105 Sunset Blvd NW, Diamond Valley.

Western Living, in an article dated 2022-08-30, reported that the menu draws on cattle from owner Terry Myhre's herd and that the pies are baked from scratch by a local woman.
