What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

In the You Gotta Eat Here! episode that aired on 2014-06-13, host John Catucci ate a slice of dark and stormy cheesecake at Salt Shaker Deli in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, according to TVmaze's episode summary. The business is a restaurant with an inn above it. Its own website describes a harbor-view dining room on Montague Street, four guest rooms upstairs, and a menu of regional seafood that includes smoked seafood chowder, fishcakes and hand-rolled thin-crust pizzas, created by chef Martin Ruiz Salvador. The same website lists the owners' other Lunenburg restaurants, including The Half Shell Oyster Bar, Beach Pea Kitchen, South Shore Fish Shack and Bar Salvador. Since the broadcast, novascotia.com, the province's tourism site, has carried a listing for the restaurant with a page modified date of 2026-07-23. That listing gives hours of 11 am to 9 pm from June to September and 11 am to 8 pm from October to May, and describes the restaurant as open year-round.
