What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'For Brunch' episode featured Garcia's Cafe for its menudo, a traditional Mexican soup recommended by chef Aaron Sanchez. Garcia's Cafe is listed along Colorado Highway 133 in Carbondale, Colorado, a small mountain-valley town near Aspen. A Food Network restaurant-locator page, a Best Thing I Ever Ate fan-site listing, and a Menupix restaurant directory entry all give the same address, 211 Highway 133, but none of the three carries a dated confirmation of current hours or operating status. No current news coverage, official restaurant website, or dated public listing confirming a 2026 operating status was found during this review. Because no dated evidence either way was located, the record is left as status unknown rather than assumed open or closed.
