What happened after Man v. Food?

After Arnold's, Casey Webb traveled to Blue Ash Chili Parlor in the Cincinnati suburb of Blue Ash to sample the city's chili style with the No Freakin' Way platter, an eight-pound combination of spaghetti, homemade chili seasoned with paprika, cinnamon, and cumin, and shredded cheddar, ringed with deep-fried jalapeno caps. Blue Ash Chili was established in 1969 and has served its family chili recipe from the Kenwood Road location ever since; Cincinnati Magazine's dining coverage notes the parlor was also featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in 2010, years before Webb's visit. The restaurant's own website continues to list that location as active, and a Yelp listing updated in August 2026 shows hundreds of recent reviews, indicating Blue Ash Chili Parlor remains open years after the Man v. Food episode aired.
