What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food (Travel Channel) visited Blu Seafood and Bar for its Durham, North Carolina segment, which aired 2009-09-02, spotlighting the restaurant's seafood plates and full bar. Blu Seafood and Bar operated as a seafood restaurant and bar on Hillsborough Road in Durham. A Google Places listing checked 2026-09-07 marks that Hillsborough Road address as permanently closed. The restaurant's own domain, bluseafoodandbar.com, still resolves, but a site check on 2026-09-08 found no menu, hours, or restaurant content on the page, only generic text steering visitors toward an unrelated online casino promotion, with no current phone number, hours, or ordering option listed anywhere on the domain. No news coverage, social media account, or replacement business at the Hillsborough Road address turned up in the evidence gathered for this record. No secondary source was found confirming current operation at the address, and the domain's content as of the 2026-09-08 check was unrelated to the original seafood and bar business.
