What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" (Food Network) featured Horseshoe Hill Cafe in its "Big Cheese" episode (S8E9), spotlighting the cafe's American comfort-food menu. Horseshoe Hill Cafe operated at 204 West Exchange Avenue in Fort Worth's historic Stockyards district, according to Favor Delivery's restaurant listing. Yelp's listing for the cafe, updated in June 2026, marked the location permanently closed, though a second independent dated source confirming the closure was not located. OpenTable's page for the cafe, last updated for 2025, also referenced the Exchange Avenue address without a 2026-dated update, and the cafe's Facebook page remained listed under the same name and address without a confirmed post date to corroborate current status either way.
