What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food (S3E4, aired 2010-06-30), host Adam Richman took on a wood-smoked rib challenge at Buz and Ned's Real Barbecue in Richmond. The restaurant smokes ribs, pulled pork, chicken and brisket entirely over wood rather than gas or electricity, a technique the business has used for more than two decades. Since the episode, the West Broad Street location has continued operating: a Yelp listing updated 2026-09 shows it active with 538 reviews at 8205 W Broad St. A separate Yelp page, updated 2026-06, marks a second Richmond location, on N Arthur Ashe Blvd, as permanently closed, though it does not specify when that location shut down. The West Broad Street restaurant that hosted the televised rib challenge remains the operating location.
