What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode 'Desert Island Dish' featured Black Bull, a Spanish tapas restaurant in Chicago's East Ukrainian Village and Wicker Park area led by executive chef Marcos Campos, according to an OpenTable listing describing the concept as focused on flavors and products found throughout Spain. The restaurant operated at 1721 West Division Street in Chicago. According to a Yelp business listing updated in August 2026, Black Bull was marked closed, with 392 accumulated customer reviews visible on that listing. A separate OpenTable listing describing the restaurant as a current Spanish restaurant, without a closure notice, was also found during this check, creating a conflict between the two sources that could not be resolved from information checked in September 2026.
