What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
The 2012-09-21 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (season 1, episode 22), as summarized by TVmaze, included Tubby Dog in Calgary, Alberta, without naming a dish. Avenue Calgary describes the Tubby Dog as a hot dog shop on 17th Avenue SW owned by Jon Truch, and describes its signature dog as an all-beef wiener in a butter-toasted bun topped with house-made steak chili, yellow mustard, raw white onion, bacon bits and jalapeno nacho cheese. Avenue Calgary reported on 2023-03-15 that the Tubby Dog closed during the COVID-19 pandemic because of leasing issues, and that Truch then reworked the Tubby name into Tubby's, a bar at 100A, 1210 8 Street SW in Calgary's Beltline; the article quotes him calling it 'just a good bar that serves hot dogs.' A second Avenue Calgary article, dated 2023-05-09, covers how the bar makes its signature Tubby Dog.
