What happened after Man v. Food?
S2E12 featured Horace & Dickie's Seafood Carryout, a takeout seafood spot on Washington, DC's H Street NE corridor known for southern-style fried fish, including a fried whiting sandwich that The Washington Post included among dishes that have shaped how DC eats, according to WUSA9. The carryout was founded in 1990 by Richard "Dickie" Shannon and a partner known as Horace, according to WUSA9. A Yelp listing for the original shop at 809 12th St NE, updated 2026-08, marks it as permanently closed (Yelp). A same-named restaurant, Horace & Dickies Seafood of Glenarden, opened in Glenarden, Maryland in August 2020, according to WUSA9.
