What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
An episode revisiting dining classics featured House of Prime Rib, a San Francisco restaurant known for carving well-marbled prime rib tableside from stainless-steel carts in the English tradition, at 1906 Van Ness Avenue in the Van Ness corridor. The restaurant serves dinner only, with reservations available through OpenTable or by phone at two listed lines. According to Yelp, whose listing for the address was updated in July 2026, the restaurant had accumulated more than 18,000 photos and over 10,000 reviews, with no closure notice on the page. A 2026 dining guide published by SeatSwiper described reservations as difficult to secure, with tables often booked well in advance and walk-in or bar seating offered as a faster alternative. The restaurant's own website still listed the same Van Ness Avenue address, phone numbers, and weekend evening hours found in the current third-party listings, consistent with continued operation at that address.
