What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

TheTVDB's overview of the Season 2 episode that aired 2013-04-26 describes the Calgary stop as a barbecue chef's Elvis Platter, one of three restaurants in the episode. Big T's BBQ & Smokehouse is a barbecue restaurant, and the Calgary Wiki (undated) lists its Crowchild Trail NW location near the University of Calgary alongside Deer Ridge and a stand at the Calgary Farmer's Market. The company's own website, last modified on 2026-10-09 and carrying a 2026 copyright, lists six locations, including the McMahon site at 2138 Crowchild Trail NW, Deer Ridge, Mahogany, West Springs, the Farmers Market, and one in Airdrie. The site also offers online ordering, advertises meat smoked slowly each day, and promotes half-price lunch and kids specials on Tuesdays, with other dine-in specials at the McMahon and Deer Ridge sites.
