What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Diner Deluxe, a Calgary brunch diner, was featured in the episode "Red Top, Diner Deluxe, Cafe Polenez" of You Gotta Eat Here! (Food Network Canada), which aired 2012-09-14 according to TVmaze; the TVmaze summary lists the stop but names no dish. The diner's website calls it a Calgary staple for over 25 years, its page title describes a brunch destination since 2001, and it says the restaurant is owned and operated by Cuisine Concepts of Calgary. Avenue Calgary, in an article dated 2026-02-24, lists two Calgary branches, at 106 Mahogany Centre SE and 2252 33 Ave SW in Marda Loop, and names a deluxe burrito, banana-split French toast and weekend-only cinnamon buns among its signature dishes. When the diner's website was checked on 2026-10-20, it carried menu, private-events and online-ordering links. None of the sources read says which branch the 2012 crew visited.
