What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food (S3E5, aired 2010-07-07), Adam Richman took on a Belgian waffle-eating challenge at what the show billed as Bruges Waffles & Frites in downtown Salt Lake City. According to Fox13 and the Utah's Own business directory, the business was started in March 2004 by Pierre Vandamme, a Belgium native, as a waffle cart before growing into a sit-down restaurant. The downtown location at 336 W 300 S now operates as Bruges Belgian Bistro, and a Yelp listing for that address, updated 2026-09, shows it active with nearly 1,000 reviews. The business's website, brugeswaffles.com, currently lists three Salt Lake-area locations — downtown, Sugar House, and the airport — along with an online ordering option. Google Places records the downtown address as operational. No dated announcement of a formal name change from Bruges Waffles & Frites to Bruges Belgian Bistro was found; the current branding was confirmed only through the business's present-day website and listings.
