What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food's Knoxville episode (S3E19, aired 2010-10-13) featured Ye Olde Steak House, a family-run steakhouse whose self-description promises 'Food Fit For A King.' According to the restaurant's own website, the business was founded in 1968 by Bunt King and operates from 6838 Chapman Highway in South Knoxville. A site check on 2026-09-08 found yeoldesteakhouse.com live with a copyright date of 2025, a current reservation and ordering system, and posted hours of Monday through Saturday, 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. The same check found 2026 references in the page text, and the site listed a Sunday hours exception. Together the current hours, live reservation tool, and fresh copyright date indicate the steakhouse remains open under continuous family operation more than five decades after the King family founded it.
