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. Toro's official website, checked 2026-09-08, describes the restaurant, its bar program, and its events calendar in the present tense, with no closure or relocation notice, consistent with continued operation; the exact current street address was not independently confirmed this session, so location fields are left pending rather than guessed.
