What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode featured Blue Ribbon Restaurants' kitchen operating inside Brooklyn Bowl, the Williamsburg bowling alley and live-music venue built inside the former Hecla Iron Works building at 61 Wythe Avenue. Rather than typical bar food, Brooklyn Bowl pairs its lanes and concert stage with a full Blue Ribbon restaurant menu. Brooklyn Bowl's own site, checked 2026-09-07 and carrying a 2026 copyright notice, still credits its Brooklyn food program to Blue Ribbon under the heading 'Food By Blue Ribbon.' The venue's hours, listed the same day, show Wednesday-through-Sunday service. A separate Yelp listing for Brooklyn Bowl, last updated 2026-09, shows continued customer reviews and photos, consistent with ongoing operation.
