What happened after Man v. Food?
The episode featured Jack-n-Grill's seven-pound breakfast burrito eating challenge, a dish that drew national attention to the New Mexico-style cantina after Adam Richman attempted it on the show's original broadcast, which aired 2009-03-11. Jack-n-Grill was a Mexican restaurant serving New Mexico-style green chile plates at 2524 Federal Boulevard in Denver, Colorado. The restaurant's dining room on Federal Boulevard served diners for years before its closure, with a menu built around house-made green chile. Google Places listed the business as permanently closed. A Yelp listing for the Federal Boulevard address, updated 2026-08, also marked the restaurant closed. A Yelp listing for a second location, Jack N Grill 2 at 5686 North Pecos Street, updated 2026-08, likewise showed that address closed. No fresher source was found showing either address currently operating as Jack-n-Grill.
