What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode 'Desert Island Dish' featured Baz Bagel & Restaurant, a diner-style bagel shop in Manhattan's Little Italy known for a traditional boil-and-bake technique, according to a New York City Tourism + Conventions listing describing the concept, including cream cheese flavors such as beet-horseradish and wasabi-tobiko. The restaurant operated at 181 Grand Street in New York. According to a Yelp business listing updated in July 2026, Baz Bagel & Restaurant was marked closed. The NYC Tourism + Conventions listing, which carried no visible update date, continued to list the restaurant as open at the same address, and the business's own website did not load during this check, a set of conflicting and inconclusive signals that could not be fully resolved from sources checked in September 2026.
