What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

The Harbour Diner in Hamilton, Ontario, was the second stop in the third episode of You Gotta Eat Here!, which aired on Flavour Network on 2012-08-25. TheTVDB's episode entry says host John Catucci ate meatloaf and a crab-and-lobster macaroni and cheese there. It was a diner at 486 James Street North. Hamilton City Magazine's restaurant roundup, published 2025-02-27, reported that Mickey's Jamaican Jerk was open at 486 James Street North in the space formerly occupied by Harbour Diner; the article gives no date for the diner's last day. A Google Maps listing checked on 2026-10-19 marks The Harbour Diner at the same address as permanently closed. The website link on that listing points only to a Facebook page, which did not load content when read in October 2026, so no statement from the owners was available.
