What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

On the 2014-05-23 episode "Pig BBQ Joint, Two Six - Ate, Taco Pica," host John Catucci visited an Ottawa restaurant known for its shrimp corn dog, according to TVmaze's episode summary. Each You Gotta Eat Here! episode on Food Network Canada visits three local restaurants, and this one paired the Ottawa stop with a barbecue restaurant in Victoria and a Guatemalan restaurant in Saint John. Google Maps lists the restaurant as two six {ate} at 268 Preston Street in Ottawa, and that listing, checked on 2026-10-19, is marked permanently closed. The restaurant's former web address, twosixate.com, redirected to a different site when it was visited in October 2026. The sources reviewed gave no opening date, no closing date and no dated news coverage of the restaurant after the episode aired.
