What happened after Man v. Food?

Cloverleaf Bar & Restaurant, on Gratiot Avenue in Eastpointe, Michigan, was opened in 1953 by Gus and Anna Guerra, the same couple credited with inventing Detroit-style pan pizza at their earlier restaurant, Buddy's Rendezvous, according to Wikipedia's article on Detroit-style pizza. The batch line for this episode gave the city as Detroit, but Cloverleaf is located in Eastpointe, an inner-ring suburb bordering Detroit to the north. The Detroit Free Press named Cloverleaf its 2020 Restaurant of the Year Classic, per the same Wikipedia article, and pizza journalist Michael Schafer's 2013 profile in Hour Detroit described the business as still run by Guerra family members. No live official site, current business listing, or 2026-dated source could be located during this research session to confirm an exact street address or the restaurant's present-day operating status; this record should be re-researched with fuller search access.
