What happened after Man v. Food?

Edwards Drive-In was one of the Indianapolis stops on Man v. Food's "Indianapolis" episode (S3E11), which first aired August 18, 2010. The restaurant operated as a classic Midwestern drive-in on the city's south side, serving burgers and short-order plate food to a mostly car-side and counter crowd, a format that once had several competitors around Indianapolis. According to Google's business listing for Edwards Drive-In Restaurant at 2126 S Sherman Dr, the location's status is marked permanently closed, checked September 8, 2026. Wikipedia's page for the restaurant separately lists it as closed, though that entry served only as a lead pointing toward this record rather than as a cited source. No working website, phone listing, or active social media account for the drive-in turned up in the same check, consistent with the Google listing showing the location no longer operating.
