What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Bunk Sandwiches was featured for its hand-crafted sandwich menu, the original concept behind the Bunk brand founded in Portland, Oregon. The Bunk Sandwiches website currently routes Portland customers to a single active location, Bunk Bar, a combined restaurant-and-live-music venue at 1028 Southeast Water Avenue that still serves the Bunk sandwich menu alongside its bar and concert business.

On 'Upper Crust' (Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, aired 2009-08-03), Guy Fieri visited Bunk Sandwiches, a Portland, Oregon sandwich shop known for hand-crafted sandwiches such as the Pork Belly Cubano, built around house-cured meats. Bunk Sandwiches began as a single counter before growing into a small chain of Portland locations, according to Wikipedia, last revised 2026-06-14, which notes the business also operated in Brooklyn, New York. One of its current Portland locations, Bunk Bar at 1028 Southeast Water Avenue, combines the sandwich menu with a bar and live-event space. On 2026-09-08, the business's website advertised pickup and delivery as available, with an active online ordering system for the Bunk Bar location, and named upcoming shows and catering options. The site's homepage title still read 'Home - Bunk Sandwiches,' and Wikipedia describes the business as continuing to operate under that name across its remaining locations.
