What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'For Brunch' episode featured Bar Boulud, chef Daniel Boulud's French bistro at Lincoln Center, for its charcuterie-driven brunch fare built around house-made pates and terrines. Bar Boulud operated at 1900 Broadway at West 64th Street in Manhattan, alongside two sister restaurants, Boulud Sud and Epicerie Boulud, all under the same restaurant group. iLoveTheUpperWestSide.com reported on 2026-08-25 that all three restaurants closed in 2025, and that the shared space is being replaced by a new concept, Brasserie Boulud, with an opening date of 2026-09-17 and reservations opening 2026-09-01. The outlet described the new restaurant as nearly 320 seats, combining the footprints of all three former restaurants into a single brasserie-style dining room. Because Brasserie Boulud is a distinct concept and name rather than a continuation of Bar Boulud's own identity, this record is tracked here as closed rather than renamed.
