What happened after Man v. Food?

For his Tampa-area eating challenge, host Casey Webb took on the 'Cookie Munchers Challenge' at this bakery: ten oversized cookies, each about the size of three normal cookies, plus a pint of milk, totaling roughly 3.5 pounds, to be finished in under 20 minutes, according to the episode synopsis on Wikipedia's Man v. Food season 10 page. Webb chose red velvet, chocolate chip, double chocolate, snickerdoodle and white chocolate-macadamia nut, finishing the plate and milk with 48 seconds to spare, per the same source, in a challenge that the same Wikipedia synopsis says only five percent of challengers had won in hundreds of prior attempts. The Tampa location, at 11842 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, was the one featured in the episode; the company also operates a separate location in Glassboro, New Jersey, according to that location's own Yelp listing.
