What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Jar is a modern chophouse in the Beverly Grove neighborhood of Los Angeles, opened in 2001 by chef Suzanne Tracht at 8225 Beverly Boulevard. The Wall Street Journal has described Jar as a modern take on a classic 1940s-style chop house, and Time Out Los Angeles has called it a longstanding dining institution in the city. Tracht, whose biography appears on the restaurant's own site, continues to run the kitchen at Jar today. According to a post on the restaurant's official Facebook page, Jar celebrated its 25th anniversary with a party planned for September 27, 2026. Yelp's listing for the Beverly Boulevard address, updated 2026-09, shows continuing customer reviews and photos. The restaurant's Tock reservation page remained active for bookings at the time of this check, and the About Jar page on thejar.com still lists Tracht as chef and owner.

The episode "High Steaks" featured Jar's modern chophouse menu, built around chef Suzanne Tracht's take on classic American steakhouse dishes: a slow-braised pot roast, a Kansas City strip steak, and a widely praised order of French fries. Jar opened in 2002 on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, in the Beverly Grove neighborhood adjacent to West Hollywood, with a mid-century modern dining room built around Tracht's retro American cooking. According to Yelp, a listing updated in September 2026 shows Jar operating with posted hours running Wednesday through Sunday evenings, closed Monday and Tuesday. The restaurant continues to operate under its original name at the same Beverly Boulevard address, with no ownership or menu changes reported since its 2002 debut.
