What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
Kokom's Bannock Shack in Dryden, Ontario, was the third stop in the Season 5 premiere of You Gotta Eat Here!, which aired 2016-02-26 under the title "Kinton Ramen, Summit Café, Kokom's Bannock Shack." TVmaze's episode listing says host John Catucci learned to make bannock with a burger twist at the Dryden spot. Google Maps lists the business in Unit 13 at 539 Government Street in Dryden, and that listing, checked 2026-10-19, carries a permanently closed marker. A SooToday "New in the Soo" video page, which carries no date, describes a Kokom's Bannock Shack at 759 Trunk Road in Sault Ste. Marie serving bannock-based dishes; the page does not name the owners, so its link to the Dryden business is not established. No article about the Dryden location's closing was found.
