What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The 'Kids' Menu' episode (S11E4) featured Button Mash, an Echo Park bar pairing Pan-Asian comfort food with a room of vintage arcade cabinets and pinball machines spanning the 1970s through 1990s. The concept combined craft beer and shareable plates with a walk-up gaming room, and later hosted a themed pop-up bar called Poltergeist inside the same space, according to LAmag.

The restaurant's own website, buttonmashla.com, and its Toast and Tock ordering and reservation pages remained live and listed the 1391 Sunset Boulevard address at the time of this review, though continued site availability alone is not treated as proof of current operation.
