What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
A segment of the Halloween-themed 'Frightfully Good' episode featured Extra Virgin, a tapas restaurant at 1900 Main Street in Kansas City. According to the restaurant's website, chef Michael Smith, whose mother worked as a restaurant manager, built the concept around full tapas, wine, and cocktails alongside private dining and event space. Extravirginkc.com, last modified 2026-08-26, listed current hours as 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, and closed Sunday, according to the site. A phone listing of +1-816-842-2205 was also shown. This batch's read-only research did not surface a second independently dated source, so the restaurant's own current site is the sole basis for this record's open status.
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives returned to Extra Virgin in Kansas City for the 2019-09-06 episode "Full of Surprises" (S30E12), featuring chef Michael Smith's full tapas, wine and cocktail menu. Extra Virgin is a tapas restaurant on Main Street helmed by Smith, whose mother's restaurant-management background introduced him to professional kitchens, according to the restaurant's own site. Since the episode, the business has continued operating at the same address: extravirginkc.com listed current hours (Thursday through Sunday) as of a 2026-08-26 site update, and continued to promote private dining, reservations, gift cards and its adjoining concept, Farina. The restaurant's site also listed a donation-request page for community organizations and continued to credit Smith's culinary background, consistent with unchanged ownership since the episode.
