What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
On All-Star Best Thing I Ever Ate's 'Deep-Fried Decadence' episode, which aired August 3, 2020, chef Alex Guarnaschelli named the breaded, fried veal parmigiana at Chef Vola's as one of her favorite dishes. Chef Vola's is a BYOB Italian restaurant run from a private residence in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with seating across two floors and phone-only reservations. According to its Wikipedia entry, the restaurant has operated in the same building since 1921. Yelp's page for the business, updated August 2026, listed customer reviews dated that month, and the restaurant's own website, chefvolas.com, was still live in September 2026. No news coverage of a closure, sale, or address change turned up for 111 South Albion Place.
