What happened after Man v. Food?

Newport Creamery, a Rhode Island ice cream and sandwich chain, hosted Casey Webb for its signature Awful Awful milkshake during Man v. Food's Season 8 Providence episode (aired 2019-08-20). The chain traces its start to a single Newport, Rhode Island storefront opened in 1928, according to Wikipedia's Newport Creamery entry, before growing into its present eight-location footprint across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The Smith Street location in Providence is one of those eight locations, according to the company's own locations page. Yelp's listing for that address, styled as the Ice Cream & Sandwich Shoppe, shows customer activity updated in August 2026. The chain's own site continues to list current hours and a full location roster, with no reported closures, renaming, or ownership changes affecting the Smith Street shop since the episode aired.
