What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode featured Commander's Palace, a Louisiana Creole restaurant at 1403 Washington Avenue in New Orleans, according to Wikipedia's entry on the restaurant (revised 2026-07-11). A Foodeist listing, checked 2026-09-08, carried 2026-dated page content, an online ordering option, and posted hours spanning brunch and dinner service across the week, including Sunday service from 10 AM to 2 PM and again from 6 to 9:30 PM, plus separate Monday and Tuesday dinner-only hours. Wikipedia's entry, independently dated 2026-07-11, described the restaurant in the present tense as an operating Creole restaurant in the city.

According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-07-11), Commander's Palace is a Louisiana Creole restaurant located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08 and last modified the same day, lists sections for its story, hours, dress code, private dining, and awards and press coverage, along with retail offerings such as a bottled sauce line and a nationwide shipping partnership for at-home meals. The site also promotes gift cards and online reservations. The Washington Avenue address matches the restaurant's Google Places listing, which shows the business as operational. This appearance adds to the restaurant's long history of national television coverage as one of the city's signature fine-dining destinations.
