What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Hungry Hollow Smokehouse and Grille in Georgetown, Ontario, was the first stop in the Season 5 episode aired 2016-05-06. TVDB's episode summary says host John Catucci visited the smokehouse and grille for Southern-style barbecue, then moved on to Piatto Pizzeria in St. John's and Frank's Steakhouse in Boston. A Google Maps listing places the restaurant at 136 Guelph Street, Unit 4, in Georgetown, part of the Town of Halton Hills. Archived 2013 issues of the Independent & Free Press and a Halton Hills travel guide from Justin Plus Lauren, updated 2025-10-21, mention the nearby Hungry Hollow trails but not the restaurant, so no founding date or ownership history was found. The restaurant's website address, hungryhollow.ca, returned a not-found error when checked on 2026-10-20, and a Google Maps listing checked 2026-10-19 marks the business permanently closed.
