What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The 'Chocolate' episode's record lists a Chicago business named May Street Bakery, presumably featured for a baked chocolate item, but no dish detail was provided in the source material. A web search for 'May Street Bakery' in Chicago did not return a business operating under that exact name. The closest possible matches were May Street Market, a contemporary American restaurant on Time Out Chicago's closed-restaurants list, and May Street Café, a separate Latin American restaurant listing, neither of which is a bakery; a nearby, unrelated bakery, D'Amato's Bakery, sits at the corner of Grand Avenue and May Street. None of these could be confirmed as the entity named in the batch record within the two-search budget allotted. Address, current status, and ownership for the business as named could not be verified from available sources.
