What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode "Small Plates, Big Taste" featured Kemuri Tatsu-ya's fusion of Japanese izakaya small plates with Texas barbecue, a combination the East Austin restaurant built its identity on. Kemuri Tatsu-ya operates as a Japanese izakaya and barbecue restaurant at 2713 East 2nd Street in East Austin, Texas. The menu spans skewers, ramen, and smoked-meat plates that blend the two cuisines, and the restaurant lists dinner service seven nights a week according to its own website. That website, checked 2026-09-08, carries a 2026 copyright and an active online ordering system, and it links to live reservations, job postings, and contact pages, each functioning during the check — signals consistent with a currently operating restaurant rather than an inactive site.
