What happened after Man v. Food?

Greek Village Grille, a family-owned Greek restaurant at 14019 Madison Avenue in Lakewood, Ohio, was the site of the episode's Mount Olympus Challenge, an 8-pound gyro built on a 20-inch pita loaded with rotisserie pork, chicken, and a lamb-and-beef mixture, according to Wikipedia's episode list for the show, a challenge the host did not finish within the show's format. The batch line for this episode gave the city as Cleveland, but the restaurant is actually located in Lakewood, an adjoining suburb on Cleveland's near-west side. Since airing, the restaurant has kept operating at the same Madison Avenue address: its own site lists current hours, an active online-ordering system, job postings, and a Labor Day promotional banner timed to the September 2026 holiday. Greek Village Grille has also been featured on Food Paradise and The Best Thing I Ever Ate, according to tracker site TVFoodMaps.
