What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" (episode "Appetizers") featured BLT Steak's warm popovers with herb butter, the free starter for which chef Laurent Tourondel's steakhouse chain became known, served at the original Manhattan flagship on East 57th Street. BLT, an acronym for Tourondel's Bistro Laurent Tourondel, grew into a group of steakhouses and brasseries with locations across the U.S. and overseas.
