What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food, Casey Webb took on the Five-Round Sushi Challenge at Ju Hachi in Sacramento, an undefeated gauntlet of five sushi rolls to be finished within 30 minutes, per episode listings on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. Ju Hachi is a Japanese restaurant on S Street in Sacramento's Midtown neighborhood, also doing business online as "Ju Hachi by Taka's," offering sushi and other cooked Japanese dishes in a sit-down dining room with a full bar. The episode aired July 2, 2019. Since then, the restaurant's own site, juhachirestaurant.com, and its OpenTable listing, updated in 2026, both show current hours, menu, and reservation availability at the same S Street address. No change in ownership or location has been reported since the taping.
