What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

On Best Thing I Ever Ate ('With Fruit'), a chef highlighted a breakfast or brunch dish from Cristina's Restaurant & Bakery, a longtime breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot in Ketchum, Idaho, owned by Cristina Ceccatelli Cook. According to BoiseDev (published 2022-01-17), Cristina's closed heading into the resort town's slack season and did not reopen for the following winter, with the outlet citing ongoing staffing challenges at the restaurant. A Yelp listing for the 2nd Street East address, updated 2026-07, continues to mark the business permanently closed, with no indication of new ownership or a reopening. No search results found evidence that Cristina's has resumed operating in Ketchum since the 2022 closure reported by BoiseDev. A separate blog post, Rasberry's Vacation Rentals' 'A Sun Valley icon closes the doors,' likewise describes the restaurant's closing without giving a specific date, corroborating BoiseDev's account.
