What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Floyd's Diner in Victoria, British Columbia, was the second stop in the second episode of You Gotta Eat Here!, which aired on Flavour Network on 2012-08-18. TheTVDB's episode entry says host John Catucci played a coin flip for his meal there, and that the featured dish was the Mahoney. The episode listing names the city but gives no street address. Floyd's website says the diner was established in 2004 and lists James Bay, Langford, Royal Oak and Gorge locations, with the James Bay branch at 425 Quebec Street. Citified Victoria reported on 2018-12-16 that the downtown location at Yates and Quadra streets would close on January 1, and Daily Hive reported on 2024-02-16 that a location at 123 Gorge Road East had opened on February 15.

Citified Victoria reported on 2018-12-16 that the downtown Floyd's Diner at Yates and Quadra streets, which it described as known for the Mahoney double-or-nothing dish, would serve its last meal on January 1. A Citified Victoria article dated 2019-03-26 said the downtown diner closed on New Year's Day 2019 after about 15 years, and described the Langford branch on Station Avenue, operating since 2011, as the first to expand beyond downtown. TheTVDB's entry for the 2012 episode describes the Mahoney coin flip but gives no street. Floyd's website, modified 2026-10-16, says the Langford branch opened in 2012 and lists James Bay, Langford, Royal Oak and Gorge branches.
