What happened after Restaurant Impossible: Last Call (Food Network)?

Pisac Peruvian Bistro operated at 195 Carlton Street in Toronto. Its episode of Restaurant Impossible: Last Call (Food Network), the spin-off of Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network) hosted by chef Aarón Sánchez and Toronto restaurateur Jen Agg, was titled “Taste of Peru” and aired 2026-08-27.

The problems shown: Food Network's series page summarized the episode as a Peruvian family getting a crash course in change to save its bistro. TVmaze's episode guide described a father who held tightly to traditional recipes and to control of the business as it declined, without telling his two sons how things stood.

What the rescue changed: According to TVmaze's episode guide, Agg and Sánchez pushed for change that fits current conditions and helped the sons build the confidence to show they could take over.

About the series: Streets of Toronto reported on 2026-05-21 that Agg announced the show as a spin-off of the original Restaurant: Impossible format, with Agg focusing on front-of-house operations. The article said the series takes a deeper look at modern restaurant problems, such as harsh online reviews and feuding family members, rather than quick fixes. Food Network's series page lists seven episodes in the first season, with this one in sixth place, and the premiere aired 2026-07-23. Food Network's series announcement describes Sánchez as handling the culinary side and Agg as handling design and front-of-house issues.

Google's listing for the address marked Pisac Peruvian Bistro as permanently closed in October 2026. At that time, the web address the listing gave for the bistro's website, pisacbistro.com, loaded a page of unrelated content rather than a restaurant site.
