What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Kish-Kash appeared in the episode "Feast of the Middle East," which featured the restaurant's scratch-made couscous. Kish-Kash was a Moroccan restaurant in Manhattan's West Village, opened by chef-restaurateur Einat Admony, the chef behind Bar Bolonat and Taïm, and known for a communal table, Moroccan-tiled storefront and a couscousiere used to hand-roll couscous, according to New York City Tourism & Conventions. That same New York City Tourism & Conventions listing, the city's official visitor guide, marked the restaurant "Out of Business" as of a 2026-09-08 check. A Yelp business listing separately marked the restaurant closed, updated 2026-05. Both sources agree the restaurant at 455 Hudson Street is no longer operating, though neither source gives a specific closure date, so the exact date the restaurant stopped service could not be determined.
