What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Abe Fisher was a modern Eastern European-and-Jewish-inspired restaurant at 1623 Sansom Street in Philadelphia's Center City. Best Thing I Ever Ate featured the restaurant's modern deli-style menu in the episode "One of a Kind" (Season 9, Episode 17). A Yelp listing for the Sansom Street address, updated 2026-08, marks Abe Fisher as permanently closed. A GAYOT directory page separately lists the restaurant among Philadelphia's closed restaurants at the same address. Sources reviewed here spell the restaurant's name "Abe Fisher," without a "c," which differs from the "Abe Fischer" spelling used in the assignment packet; this record uses the sourced spelling. No news article giving a specific closure date was found within this check's search budget, so no closure date is asserted -- only that current public listings mark the business closed.
