What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food Nation (Travel Channel) visited Frontier Restaurant, a New Mexican diner across from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, for the episode that aired 2011-06-22, sampling the restaurant's breakfast specialties. Frontier is a restaurant at 2400 Central Ave SE that serves New Mexican and diner fare around the clock. According to Yelp, updated August 2026, Frontier carries 2,718 reviews and lists hours of 5 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week, at its Central Avenue address. A direct check of the restaurant's own website (frontierrestaurant.com) on 2026-09-08 returned an HTTP 403 access-denied response rather than page content, so the site's own currency could not be independently confirmed through that route. The August 2026 Yelp listing is the most recent dated source located for the property.
