What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
According to TVmaze, season 1, episode 14 of You Gotta Eat Here!, aired 2012-09-07, featured shepherd's pie at the Dam Pub, which the TVmaze text places in Thornbury, Ontario. The visitgrey.ca listing describes a Scottish gastropub and whisky bar at 72 Sykes Street North, owned and run by Stephanie Price since 2005, and the Municipality of Meaford's listing (page modified 2026-06-07) calls it family-owned since 2005. The pub's own website, viewed in October 2026, carries a message titled "It's the end of an Era." It says that after 21 years the pub has been sold, that Stephanie is retiring, and that new ownership takes effect October 23, 2026, with the new owners' plans to be announced later. The message does not say whether the name or menu will continue.
Travel and Transitions, in a post published 2014-08-06, described the Dam Pub in Thornbury as a gastro pub founded by Stephanie Price and her parents, with Executive Chef Suzette Gerrie running the kitchen and shepherd's pie on the menu. TheTVDB's entry for the 2012 episode names Chef Suzette and places the pub in Thornbury. The Municipality of Meaford's listing, modified 2026-06-07, gives the pub's address as 72 North Sykes Street, Meaford, and describes it as family-owned and operated since 2005.
