What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode featured Creperie Beau Monde's French crepes, made by co-owner Jim Caiola using techniques he studied in Brittany, France, the region credited with originating the dish. Creperie Beau Monde opened in Philadelphia's Queen Village neighborhood in 1998 and later added L'Etage, a French-inspired cabaret club upstairs that hosted burlesque and drag performances starting in 2003. A Yelp listing updated 2026-04 marks the 624 South 6th Street address as permanently closed. Philadelphia Magazine reported on 2022-08-01 that the combined restaurant-and-residence property was listed for sale, describing Beau Monde as a legendary Queen Village restaurant, consistent with the business no longer operating at that address. No successor restaurant or reopening announcement was found for either the ground-floor creperie or the L'Etage club space.
