What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food's Casey Webb-era Burlington, Vermont episode (S6E6, aired December 18, 2017) featured Beansie's Bus, a seasonal food truck built into a converted bus that has served hot dogs, hamburgers, and french fries in the city since 1944. According to Burlington CBS affiliate WCAX, the bus marked its 80th operating season in 2024, and the truck typically parks at Battery Park on Burlington's waterfront during its April-through-September season. Owner Chris Corron, who according to WCAX has run the business for roughly a decade, has added menu items such as veggie burgers in recent years while keeping the classic Michigan hot dog and fries as the core menu. Yelp's listing for the business, updated June 2026, shows recent customer reviews of visits to the bus, and the operation's own site, beansies.com, continues to list current menu and season information, indicating the business remains active.
