What happened on the show
Smitty's Restaurant in Clearwater, Florida, run by Gus and Evi Gialelis, had its sixth season episode under an episode pointedly titled Creepy in Clearwater, with Irvine applying the show's two day, capped budget rescue. The Wikipedia list carries no synopsis, so what he found and fixed inside is not detailed here. Smitty's current status sits unresolved. The strongest lead, an owner Facebook post declaring the place had closed after all these years around July 2014 over a lease that was not renewed, comes only through trackers we do not cite as evidence, and direct directory lookups repeatedly failed during checking. Without an independently citable confirmation, the restaurant stays unverified here and marked for a re-check rather than lean on a source the site's own rules keep off the page.
After the cameras left
A confident answer on Smitty's eluded us. Trackers we will not cite pass along an owner Facebook note about a closure, reportedly around July 2014 after a lease lapsed, but the directory pages that could corroborate it failed on every attempt. With no independent, citable source, we set the Clearwater restaurant down as unverifiable and mark it for revisiting. The dependable facts stop at the episode, owners Gus and Evi Gialelis, and the Clearwater setting; the restaurant's standing as of 2026 stays unconfirmed here.
