What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The Best Thing I Ever Ate featured one of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams' small-batch, ingredient-driven flavors in the "Hot and Spicy" episode (season 2, episode 11), fitting the Columbus company's practice of rotating adventurous flavors rather than sticking to standard mix-ins. Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is a Columbus-founded ice cream company whose original German Village scoop shop sits on Mohawk Street. According to the company's own website, the German Village location's hours are listed as Sunday through Thursday, noon to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, noon to 11 p.m. A Yelp business listing for the same Mohawk Street address was updated in June 2026 and continued to show customer photos and reviews, with no closure notice attached.
