What happened after Man v. Food?

For his weekly eating challenge during the California Wine Country episode, host Casey Webb traveled to this Petaluma Mexican restaurant to take on the 'Muy Macho Burrito Challenge,' a 4-pound burrito that diners must finish in 30 minutes or less, according to the episode synopsis on Wikipedia's Man v. Food season 10 page. Webb chose an al pastor filling of marinated grilled pork with refried beans and rice, wrapped in two large tortillas and topped with guacamole, the restaurant's own sauce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and sour cream, per the same source; he finished the burrito with just under three minutes to spare, becoming one of a small number of successful finishers in more than 400 attempts. Don Pancho's operates on North McDowell Boulevard in Petaluma, according to the restaurant's own website and menu listings.
