What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'Chocolate' episode featured a chocolate dessert from Jean-Georges, chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's flagship restaurant at 1 Central Park West in Manhattan. According to the restaurant's website, jean-georges.com, accessed 2026-09-08, Jean-Georges opened in 1997, was awarded four stars by the New York Times, and holds two Michelin stars, presenting dishes described as blending French, American, and Asian influences sourced partly from a local farmers market. The site's own copy called the restaurant 'the jewel of' Vongerichten's culinary group, underscoring its flagship status. A site check, run 2026-09-08, recorded a working reservations widget on the page, consistent with an actively maintained booking system rather than a stale, unmaintained site. No closure, relocation, or ownership-change reports for Jean-Georges were found in the available sources.
