What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Best Thing I Ever Ate featured Hog Heaven in the episode 'That I'm Thankful For.' Hog Heaven is a barbecue restaurant on 27th Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee, next to Centennial Park, known for a white barbecue sauce marketed as 'Kickin' Chicken,' according to a Food Network episode-restaurant profile and TVFoodies' show-location index confirming the Best Thing I Ever Ate appearance. The location on file for this record had been matched to a same-named business in Dyersburg, Tennessee, roughly 80 miles away -- an apparent mismatch corrected here using the Nashville address at 115 27th Avenue North.

A second, separate Yelp listing for a Hog Heaven at 782 Rhonda Lane in Nashville was also found; it is unclear whether this reflects a second location or a duplicate listing. In a September 2026 check, Google's listing for Hog Heaven at 115 27th Avenue North marked the restaurant permanently closed.
