What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

In the Season 2 episode "The American Cheesesteak, Soulyve, Murrays Sandwich Emporium," which aired 2013-03-22, TheTVDB's episode overview says host John Catucci met Murray, a wiener dog belonging to owner Anthony, and sampled sandwiches with playful names including the Dogfather, the BLTizzy and the Mama Jamma. BlogTO's undated listing page places the shop on the west end of Queen Street near Bathurst and describes eight sandwiches, among them the Uncle Phil, a cheesesteak-style sandwich, and the Nutorious, a fried Nutella-filled roll served with whipped peanut butter. The same page lists lunch hours until 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and late hours, as late as 4 a.m., Thursday through Saturday.
