What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

The Big Orange Lunchbox in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, was one of three restaurants in the April 11, 2014 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (Food Network Canada), the series hosted by John Catucci that visits three local restaurants in each episode. Rotten Tomatoes' season-three listing for that episode, which also covered Rangoli in Vancouver and the Lancaster Smokehouse in Kitchener, describes triple-patty burgers. A Google Maps listing for the business at 77 University Ave. in Charlottetown, checked on 2026-10-19, is marked permanently closed. Rotten Tomatoes lists the season's 26 episodes as airing in 2014, with the final two covering Chicago and Miami. A web search for other coverage of the business turned up no articles or announcements about it, so no founding year, owner, or closing announcement is available from the sources read.
