What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

In 'The Wren, Roy's Place, Iron Skillet' (S4E5, aired 2015-02-27), TVDB's episode description says host John Catucci eats diner food at Roy's Place, which it calls an Alberta roadside stop. The Bow Island Commentator, in an article dated 2024-12-31 and first published 2023-01-05, said Catucci visited the restaurant in Claresholm, called its cinnamon bun the largest he had ever seen and noted the scoop of cream cheese on top. The same article described a breakfast menu of eggs Benedict, omelettes, skillets and Belgian waffles, plus Angus steaks and burgers and a dill pickle soup. Roy's Place's own website, read 2026-10-20, says the family-style restaurant has served made-in-house meals since 1998 and mentions the host's visit on the Food Network show. It lists daily hours, with the latest closing at 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and has pages for event booking and online ordering.
