What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food, Casey Webb visited BUL Korean Bar & Restaurant in Adams Morgan, sampling the kitchen's Korean barbecue and stew dishes served alongside the bar's cocktail and soju menu. BUL opened in Adams Morgan in December 2014, according to PoPville's neighborhood coverage. Since the 2020 episode, the restaurant has continued operating at 2431 18th Street NW; PoPville reported in June 2026 that BUL's owner was managing a health situation that led to inconsistent hours, while the outlet noted a fundraiser had been organized to support the family, and Yelp's June 2026 update lists the restaurant's current posted hours for the address. Together, the two 2026 sources show BUL still open, even as it has navigated schedule disruptions tied to the owner's health rather than any closure or change in ownership.
