What happened after Man v. Food?
Man v. Food visited Bowen's Island Restaurant on the marsh outside Charleston in a 2009 episode (aired August 19, 2009), sampling the restaurant's steamed local oysters and Lowcountry seafood boil. The restaurant is a rustic seafood house on Bowens Island Road near Folly Beach. According to a Yelp listing updated September 2026, Bowen's Island Restaurant remains open, with hundreds of photos and reviews posted through that month and posted hours of Tuesday through Saturday service. The restaurant's full street address, 1870 Bowens Island Road, was confirmed via that same listing after the located record carried no street number.
