What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
The July 17, 2015 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! ('Downstream Lounge, 5 Doors North, The Loveless Cafe') tasted gnocchi in Gorgonzola cream sauce at an Italian restaurant in Toronto, according to TVmaze's episode listing. BlogTO's restaurant page lists 5 Doors North at 2088 Yonge Street, between Eglinton and Davisville, as an Italian comfort-food spot, notes that the restaurant was closed on Sundays when reviewed, and labels the page now closed. BlogTO's January 2023 report said the restaurant opened in 1997 near Yonge and Eglinton and that owner Vito Rizzuto planned a second Butcher's Son location at 195 Geary Avenue, which would also house his catering business, Five Doors Catering. The same report cited the restaurant's website, which said 'after 25 years we have permanently closed.'
