What happened after Man v. Food?
On Man v. Food's Sacramento episode (S3E17, aired 2010-09-29), Adam Richman had breakfast at Jim-Denny's, tackling 'The Works,' a roughly two-pound omelet, as part of his tour of Sacramento eateries that day, according to a Sac Rag recap of the episode (sacrag.com, 2010-09-28). Jim-Denny's operated as a diner at 816 12th St in downtown Sacramento. A Google Places business listing, checked 2026-09-08, marked the location as permanently closed, and the restaurant's own domain (jimdennys.com) loaded but returned a blank page with no business content on the same check, consistent with the closure. No 2026-dated news coverage, customer review, or information about a replacement business at the address turned up during this check, and no source was found describing when or why the diner closed.
