What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode "Small Plates, Big Taste" featured Toro's Barcelona-inspired tapas, a mix of hot and cold small plates meant to be shared. Toro is a Spanish tapas restaurant co-owned by chefs Ken Oringer and Jamie Bissonnette with Will Malnati, operating inside the former Nabisco Factory building in Manhattan's South Chelsea neighborhood. The dining room seats about 120 and blends the building's industrial factory bones with tall windows overlooking the surrounding cityscape, and the cocktail program leans on Spain's gin-and-tonic tradition, according to the restaurant's site.
