What happened after Man v. Food?

On the Casey Webb-hosted stop in Worcester, Massachusetts, that aired 2018-06-04, Man v. Food visited Broth, a ramen bar that opened in 2017 at 106 Green Street in the city's Canal District. The episode centered on a black garlic and roasted tomato ramen broth with handmade noodles, tare sauce, and chili flakes, topped with a skewered grilled-cheese sandwich made from mozzarella and aged cheddar; Casey Webb praised the dish on air, per Foodiepie's episode summary. Broth was billed at the time as Worcester's first dedicated ramen bar, opened by chef-owner Michael Arrastia, who also ran the adjoining Hangover Pub. Worcester Patch reported that Arrastia announced via a Facebook post on 2022-09-06 that both restaurants would close, ending a six-year run in the Canal District, without giving a specific reason. A Man v. Food tracker page, Foodiepie, separately lists Broth as closed, with no independently confirmed reopening (unverified).
