What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
TVmaze's listing for the episode "Saint John Alehouse, Philadelphia Kitchen, Fraser Park Restaurant" (S1E8, aired 2012-09-05) says host John Catucci ate lobster and prime rib at the Saint John Ale House in Saint John, New Brunswick. The pub's own website says it has operated since 2004 at 1 Market Square, with Chef Jesse Vergen leading a kitchen that focuses on local food. Its menu on that site lists a Kraken Roll made with Atlantic lobster, shrimp and rock crab, and shaved prime rib with mashed potatoes.
Market Square Saint John's page for the Ale House, last modified on 2026-04-29 and carrying a 2026 copyright, lists hours of 11:30 a.m. to midnight daily and mentions seafood, organic beef, oysters and wings on the menu. The pub's website lists restaurant and bar hours that also begin at 11:30 a.m. A Google Places listing checked on 2026-10-19 shows the business as operational.
