What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode featured Domilise's fried-shrimp and roast-beef po-boys, made in a small uptown New Orleans building that has operated as a family-run sandwich shop and bar for decades. The restaurant was founded in the 1930s by the Domilise family, who lived above the single-room dining area, and was later run by Sam and Dorothy Domilise, known as Miss Dot, for more than seventy-five years until her death in 2013, according to Wikipedia. The restaurant closed temporarily during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 while the family evacuated, per the same source. Yelp's listing for the restaurant, updated in September 2026, carried no closure marker, and the restaurant's own website was still reachable at a September 2026 check, though its posted content had not been refreshed since around 2022.
