What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

Jam Cafe's Victoria restaurant was featured in the April 25, 2014 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (Food Network Canada); Rotten Tomatoes' season-three listing for the episode names a Charley Bowl. The cafe's own website describes an all-day breakfast and brunch spot that has operated since 2012, places the Victoria location in the city's historic Old Town, and spells the hearty menu item Charlie Bowl; Wanderlog lists the address as 542 Herald St. According to the website, Jam has since added three more locations, named Beatty Street, Kitsilano, and Lonsdale. In 2026 the cafe's website listed Victoria hours of 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends, with page metadata showing a February 13, 2026 update, and Wanderlog's listing for the address showed Google reviews dated February 4 and March 3, 2026.
