What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?
Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions, a deli in Waltham, Massachusetts, was one of three restaurants in the May 13, 2016 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (Food Network Canada, host John Catucci), alongside Panaderia Latin Bakery and The Mess Hall Poutinerie. The TVmaze episode listing spells the name Moddy's, describes the segment as elevated deli sandwiches and places it in Boston, while Time Out Boston's restaurant page for Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions places the deli in Waltham, in Greater Boston. OpenStreetMap data lists a Moody's Delicatessen & Provisions at 500 Boylston Street in Boston with the website moodysboston.com, which did not load in October 2026.
Boston Magazine reported on 24 April 2019 that Moody's in Waltham, at 468 Moody Street, had temporarily closed, with its operations director describing a regrouping period. Patch reported the same day that the deli posted that it was closed for renovations and that a managing owner told Waltham's licensing commission that founder Joshua Smith was no longer affiliated with the business. NBC Boston reported on 10 April 2024 that Moody's Delicatessen and Provisions occupied the space from 2013 until it became Molti on Moody in 2020, that Molti closed in early 2022, and that an Indian restaurant called Rassa was planned for the space.
