What happened after Man v. Food?

The Buffalo episode of Man v. Food, which aired March 1, 2022, featured Fowler's sponge candy, a honeycomb-style candy of cooked sugar and corn syrup that is cut and coated in chocolate, according to Wikipedia's Man v. Food season 9 episode list. Fowler's Chocolates, Buffalo's longtime sponge-candy maker, runs its factory and a factory retail store at 100 River Rock Drive and several other shops around Western New York, including Cheektowaga, East Aurora, Hamburg and Tonawanda. In an October 2026 check, the company's website listed those stores and was selling tickets for its 23rd annual factory tour in November 2026, and Visit Buffalo's listing for the factory store was updated in October 2026.
