What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

In the episode 'Klondike Rib and Salmon, Colette's Place, Sofra' (aired 2013-03-08), host John Catucci ate a Christmas dinner served as a festive poutine at Colette's in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, according to TheTVDB's episode page. The Cape Breton Island tourism site cbisland.com lists Colette's Family Restaurant at 201 Brookside Street as a small, family-run diner known for breakfast and homemade meals with large portions. The same listing says the restaurant opened in 2004, lists eat-in, takeaway and delivery service, and ties the restaurant to a second-season visit by the show to find a holiday-style poutine.

A restaurant-listing page on restaurantwebx.com, showing a last-checked date of 2026-07-29, lists opening hours of 6:00 am to 8:30 pm every day, taken from the business's Google profile, and the cbisland.com listing gives the same daily hours. The restaurantwebx.com page shows a 4.6 rating from 662 Google reviews, and a Google Places entry read in October 2026 is marked operational.
