What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode featured Ruby's Fast Food, a Filipino restaurant known for dishes such as crispy pata and silog breakfast plates, serving the Chicago area since 1997. According to search results describing the business, Ruby's relocated to its current Albany Park address in 2022. According to a Yelp listing updated August 2026, with 615 photos and 423 reviews on file, the restaurant remained active at 4551 North Pulaski Road, with hours posted from 10:30 AM into the evening on the days it operates during the week.
