What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode featured Veni Vidi Vici's rotisserie-roasted Italian dishes, the centerpiece of a menu built around a wood-burning rotisserie at the heart of the open kitchen. Veni Vidi Vici opened in Atlanta's Midtown neighborhood in 1993 as a white-tablecloth Italian restaurant under the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group. According to What Now Atlanta, published 2015-05-28, the restaurant's owners announced it would close 2015-05-31, with restaurateur Pano Karatassos citing the company's shift toward larger-scale concepts such as City Fish Market and Lobster Bar Sea Grille over maintaining the Midtown location; staff were reassigned within the company rather than laid off. A Yelp listing updated 2026-05 still shows the 41 14th Street address as permanently closed, more than a decade later, with no successor restaurant reported at the site.
