What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
TheTVDB's overview of the Season 2 episode that aired 2013-04-26 says host John Catucci traveled to Westbank, British Columbia, to visit Kekuli Café, a bannock-focused Indigenous cafe. Monte Cristo Magazine reported on 2017-11-12 that Sharon Bond-Hogg and Darren Hogg had run the cafe since 2009, that its signature item was the Pow Wow Frybread Indian Taco, and that bannock came in flavors such as apple spice and maple walnut. The same article reported that the original cafe, just off Highway 97 on Louie Drive, was closing to move down the street to Carrington Road, with an opening planned for January 2018, and that a second location had opened in Merritt. In October 2026 the cafe's own locations page listed the Westbank cafe at 307-3550 Carrington Road with weekday hours of 6:30am to 4:30pm and weekend hours of 8am to 4pm, alongside branches in Merritt, Kamloops, and Fort St. John.
