What happened after Man v. Food?

The same Ocean City, Maryland episode of Man v. Food (aired 2019-10-22) also featured Dolle's Candyland, a boardwalk confectioner known for salt water taffy, caramel popcorn and fudge. According to the company's own website, Dolle's has been making candy in Ocean City since 1910 and is now run by a fourth generation of the same family. The flagship store, at 500 South Boardwalk, includes viewing areas where visitors can watch taffy being pulled, cut and wrapped, and chocolate being made, alongside the retail shop. Dolle's has expanded over the decades to include additional Ocean City locations, including a Coastal Highway shopping-center store and a West Ocean City shop, per the company's locations-and-hours page. That page, current for 2026, lists the boardwalk flagship's hours as running into the evening, indicating the business continues to operate at the same address today.
