What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The 'Best Meal Deal' episode featured Old Ebbitt Grill, a historic saloon-style restaurant near the White House in Washington, D.C., known for oysters, burgers and classic American fare in a Victorian-era dining room. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has documented the restaurant's long run in the same downtown block, and Downtown DC's business directory lists it at 675 15th Street NW, an address the U.S. Census geocoder matched exactly. The restaurant's own site, ebbitt.com, lists current hours and a full menu at that address. Its listing on Washington.org, the city's official tourism site, also carries the same address and continues to promote the restaurant as an active dining destination. The batch record's spelling, 'Old Ebbit Grill,' omits a letter; the business's correct name, used consistently across its own site and third-party listings, is Old Ebbitt Grill.
