What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Cafe Fanny was featured on Best Thing I Ever Ate, season 3, episode 'In a Bowl,' part of the segment organized around bowl-style dishes. The episode packet lists the business as a cafe in Berkeley, California, but no street address or website accompanied this record, and the web-search tool used for this batch had already reached its session limit by the time this record was processed. The only reference material supplied, a Wikipedia entry on chef Alice Waters (revised 2026-08-12), describes her 1971 opening of Chez Panisse in Berkeley and her later food-education and public-policy work, but it does not mention Cafe Fanny by name, so it cannot be used to establish this restaurant's ownership, founding date, or current activity. No dated, independently verifiable source specific to Cafe Fanny was available in the evidence packet or through any tool reachable this session.
