What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
On Best Thing I Ever Ate's 'Wake Up Call' episode, BLD was featured for its all-day breakfast menu, the concept behind the restaurant's name, which stood for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. BLD was a New American restaurant on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles's Beverly Grove neighborhood, opened by chefs Neal and Amy Knoll Fraser with partner Richard Drapkin. A Yelp listing for the restaurant, updated in July 2026, marks BLD as permanently closed at 7450 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, and a Yellow Pages business listing likewise shows the restaurant as closed. Google's location match for this record returned an unrelated Los Angeles International Airport address, which was not used; the address and coordinates above were corrected via search and a Census Bureau geocode of the Beverly Boulevard location.
