What happened after Man v. Food?

Casey Webb stopped at Mac Mart, a build-a-bowl mac and cheese shop at 104 S. 18th Street in Center City Philadelphia, which started as a food truck in 2013 before owner Marti Lieberman opened the storefront in 2016, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Inquirer reported on March 7, 2025 that Lieberman would not renew the storefront's lease, citing dwindling foot traffic and repeated break-ins, with the shop's run at that address ending when the lease expired in February 2026; Lieberman told the paper Mac Mart would continue as a catering food truck and through a franchise arm that opened its first location in Ardmore in 2023. Mac Mart also operates several self-serve Munch Machine vending kiosks around Philadelphia, per the same report.
