What happened after Man v. Food?

Cazuela's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina hosted Casey Webb for the Mucho Macho Burrito Challenge, a burrito eaten against a 20-minute clock, during Man v. Food's Columbus episode (Season 8, aired 2019-08-13). The business operates as a small Columbus-area chain; its own site, cazuelasmexicancantina.com, lists locations near the Ohio State University campus and on the city's east side, each with its own hours and phone number. A Yelp listing for the East Broad Street location shows customer reviews updated in June 2026. The company's site continues to advertise the same burrito-and-taco menu format used across its locations. No source identifies which specific Cazuela's address hosted the filmed challenge, and no closure, relocation, or ownership change has been reported for the chain since the episode aired.
