What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food, Casey Webb took on the Pierogi Team Challenge at Joe's Oasis during his stop in Wilmington, NC, per episode listings on IMDb and TVmaze. Joe's Oasis is a family-owned neighborhood bar and grill in the Masonboro Commons shopping center, known for its Grouper Reuben sandwich and a pub-style appetizer and build-your-own sandwich menu, according to the restaurant's own site, joesoasis.com. The episode aired July 9, 2019. Since then, the business has continued operating at its Carolina Beach Road address; Yelp's page for the restaurant was updated in May 2026, and OpenTable's listing, also updated in 2026, shows current hours and reservation availability at the same location. No change in ownership or location has been reported since the taping.
