What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Old Crow Cafe was the Gabriola Island, British Columbia stop in the You Gotta Eat Here! episode "Burger Revolution, WhiteBrick Kitchen, Old Crow Cafe" (S3E15, Food Network Canada, aired 2014-05-30). TheTVDB's description of that episode says host John Catucci visited Gabriola Island to try a Holy Molé Burrito; the description does not name the restaurant, but the episode title lists Old Crow Cafe. The same description also mentions a Propaganda Burger and a home-cooked shepherd's pie as the other dishes. Google Maps lists Old Crow Cafe, a cafe, at 575 North Road in Gabriola, BC V0R 1X3. A Google Maps listing checked on 2026-10-19 marks that cafe as permanently closed. No news article or owner announcement about the cafe was found, so the listing is the only source for what has happened since the episode aired.
