What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate showcased Fahrenheit, Chef Rocco Whalen's New American restaurant known for steaks, seafood, and its 'Cleveland' nachos. Whalen opened the original Fahrenheit on Professor Avenue in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood more than 20 years ago. Crain's Cleveland Business and News 5 Cleveland reported that he closed that location and relaunched Fahrenheit on July 13, 2023, in the former John Q's Steakhouse space at 55 Public Square in downtown Cleveland, a building that also added the square's only rooftop dining room. The restaurant's own website, fahrenheitrestaurants.com, currently lists an active Cleveland Restaurant Week event at the Public Square location, and a Yelp listing for that address, updated 2026-08, shows 522 reviews with no closure notice. Together, the two sources indicate the relaunched restaurant remains open in 2026.
On Food Paradise (Travel Channel)'s "Nacho Nation" episode, Fahrenheit was featured for its nacho appetizer as part of the show's nacho-themed episode.

The downtown location includes a bar, dining room, event space, and a rooftop patio.
