What happened after Man v. Food?

El Siboney, at 900 Catherine Street in Key West, is a family-run Cuban restaurant that has served the city since the 1950s, per the restaurant's own site, with a menu built around dishes like fried pork chunks, palomilla steak, and a made-to-order Paella Valenciana that guests are asked to reserve an hour ahead. The batch line for this episode gave only a Florida state abbreviation with no city; research identified the featured business as El Siboney's original downtown Key West location. The company has since expanded to two additional Florida Keys locations, in Stock Island and Marathon, while keeping the downtown Catherine Street restaurant as one of its three current outposts. Yelp shows 2,266 reviews for the downtown location with a September 2026 update, and the business's own site lists all three locations with active online-ordering links. El Siboney continues operating from the same downtown Key West address today.
