What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
On Best Thing I Ever Ate's 'Wake Up Call' episode, Ann Sather was featured for its cinnamon rolls, a house specialty since founder Ann Sather opened the Swedish restaurant in Chicago in 1945. According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-07-22), Sather sold the restaurant to Tom Tunney in 1981, and the menu also became known for Swedish pancakes and potato sausage; Ann Sather has operated locations in Lakeview, Andersonville, and, since 2012, Edgewater. The restaurant's website, last modified 2026-08-04, tells customers to 'join us at our new location' at 1819 W. Division Street and lists active DoorDash delivery. Google Places lists Ann Sather as operational at that same 1819 W. Division St address, matching the site's current location announcement. The current site also lists catering options and a recipes section spanning breakfast, sides, and dessert dishes.
