What happened after Man v. Food?

Casey Webb stopped at Baja Cafe's original Broadway Boulevard location to try the Tucson-sized breakfast menu, including the Wyatt Earp Benedict, according to the episode. Executive chef Ethan Casares appeared in the segment representing the restaurant. Baja Cafe was founded in 2014 by Kim Scanlan and Gerard Meurer, according to Tucson Foodie and Tucson.com; Scanlan left a social-work career to open the restaurant with Meurer, a self-taught chef. The Broadway location remains the original of what is now a three-location Tucson-area chain, after Baja Cafe expanded to a North Campbell Avenue location in 2016 and later to West Ina Road, according to Tucson.com. In September 2026, Yelp listed ongoing customer reviews at the Broadway address, and the restaurant's own site, bajacafetucson.com, listed the location with current hours and menu.
