What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode featured Johnny's Po-Boys, a French Quarter sandwich shop billed as the oldest family-owned po-boy restaurant in New Orleans, serving the neighborhood since 1950. The shop has operated from the same St. Louis Street address for decades, building a reputation for traditional Louisiana po-boys served to a steady stream of locals and visitors to the Quarter. According to a Yelp listing updated August 2026, showing 1,253 photos and 1,666 reviews, the business remained active at 511 St. Louis Street. TripAdvisor reviews dated June 2026 independently corroborated ongoing customer visits to the shop. The business's Facebook page, listed as its website in the located record, returned a browser-compatibility error rather than usable content when checked in September 2026, so Yelp and TripAdvisor served as the sources of record confirming the shop's continued activity for this update.
