What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Best Thing I Ever Ate (Food Network) featured the restaurant in its Low and Slow episode (S11E6). Richardson's is a New Mexican-cuisine restaurant now at 6335 North 16th Street in Phoenix; Phoenix New Times reported that the business rebuilt and reopened near its original Bethany Home Road corner after a 2010 fire. Yelp's page for the 16th Street location, last updated August 2026, showed 876 photos and 1,130 reviews with listed hours of 11am-10pm Monday-Thursday, 11am-11pm Friday, 8am-11pm Saturday, and 8am-10pm Sunday. A separate Yelp page for a Richardson's Cuisine of New Mexico location at 1582 East Bethany Home Road carries a closed-business marker, which Phoenix New Times ties to the pre-fire address rather than a second currently active restaurant.
