What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Best Thing I Ever Ate highlighted a poultry dish from Aldea on the 'Bird Is The Word' episode. Aldea was a Portuguese-influenced restaurant located at 31 West 17th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron neighborhood, according to OpenStreetMap-sourced business data. In September 2026, the domain aldearestaurant.com no longer displayed information about the restaurant; instead, according to the site itself, the page presented unrelated content about kitchen products and water bottles, carrying a copyright date of 2026. No independent, dated source confirming the restaurant's current operating status was located within the available research budget for this record. Because the business's own website could not be used to verify current hours, menu, or operations, and no other source was found, the restaurant's present status could not be determined from the material on file.
