What happened after Man v. Food?

Food's Chicago episode visited Timothy O'Toole's Pub in Streeterville for its wing lineup and the Big Timmy Burger, both called out on the restaurant's own website as items "seen on Man Vs Food."

Fairbanks Court since 1992, according to its website, and now shows 72 HD televisions and pours 48 beers on tap alongside a menu built around wings, burgers, and pub fare.
