What happened after Man v. Food?
Casey Webb's last St. Paul stop was Sota Hot & Cold, where he helped the owner prepare crepes and Thai-style rolled ice cream before attempting the Holy Crepe Challenge. The four-pound dessert stacked three large homemade crepes under twenty-five rolls of ice cream, an assortment of fresh fruit, strawberry shortcake, graham crackers, whipped cream, candy sticks, caramel, condensed milk, and two syrups, to be finished within twenty minutes; only two challengers had ever won it before Webb's attempt. He ate the toppings first, but the cold of the rolled ice cream slowed him down and he ran out of time with crepe and ice cream still remaining. Sota Hot & Cold opened in August 2017 on University Avenue in St. Paul, serving Thai-style rolled ice cream and crepes. A Yelp listing updated in June 2026 marks the business permanently closed, and a Tripadvisor page for the address shows no indication of current operation, consistent with that listing.
