What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The Cooking Channel's 'Best Thing I Ever Ate' (episode 'Low and Slow') highlighted Hill Country Barbecue Market's slow-smoked meats, cooked low and slow over Texas post oak wood. The restaurant, a Texas-style barbecue market in Manhattan's Flatiron neighborhood, hand-carves its brisket, ribs, and sausage to order and serves them by the pound with fresh tortillas, following the Central Texas barbecue-market tradition. According to hillcountry.com, the restaurant continues to operate at 30 W 26th St, listing current hours (Monday through Thursday noon to 10 p.m., extended hours Friday and Saturday) along with weekly specials such as Taco Tuesday and an all-you-can-eat Monday deal on brisket, pulled pork, and market chicken. The site also links an active online-ordering page through Grubhub. Hill Country Barbecue Market has operated other locations, including in Brooklyn, as part of a broader brand built around communal picnic-table dining and live music.
