What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode 'High Steaks' (S9E9) featured Cockscomb, spotlighting the restaurant's offal-focused, meat-centric menu. Cockscomb was a restaurant in the SoMa neighborhood of San Francisco, California, opened by chef Chris Cosentino as a follow-up to his earlier restaurant, Incanto. According to SF Chronicle reporting, Cosentino announced Cockscomb's permanent closure in 2020, citing the pandemic's effect on downtown and SoMa restaurants that had relied on office workers, after the restaurant had continued takeout and delivery service for a period beforehand. A Yelp listing updated in August 2026 continued to mark the restaurant as permanently closed at its 564 Fourth Street address, and no evidence of any reopening or successor business at that Fourth Street location was found in the sources reviewed for this check.
