What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" (episode "Appetizers") featured BLT Steak's warm popovers with herb butter, the free starter for which chef Laurent Tourondel's steakhouse chain became known, served at the original Manhattan flagship on East 57th Street. BLT, an acronym for Tourondel's Bistro Laurent Tourondel, grew into a group of steakhouses and brasseries with locations across the U.S. and overseas. A Yelp listing for the 106 E 57th Street address, updated August 2026, marks the restaurant permanently closed, and the BLT Restaurants company's own locations page, checked 2026-09, no longer lists a BLT Steak New York location; its current BLT Steak locations are concentrated overseas in Japan and South Korea, with a separate BLT Prime restaurant still operating elsewhere in Manhattan.
