What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Floyd's Diner in Victoria, British Columbia, was the second stop in the second episode of You Gotta Eat Here!, which aired on Flavour Network on 2012-08-18. TheTVDB's episode entry says host John Catucci played a coin flip for his meal there, and that the featured dish was the Mahoney. The episode listing names the city but gives no street address.
