What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The 'Snack Attack' episode highlighted Kogi's Korean-Mexican fusion menu, including bulgogi tacos, kimchi quesadillas, and short rib sliders served from a fleet of trucks around Los Angeles. Kogi began as a single taco truck and grew into a food-truck chain built around using social media, especially Twitter, to announce each truck's next stop, according to Wikipedia (revised 2026-06-16). The Kogi truck, founded by Mark Manguera, has been recognized with a Bon Appétit Award in 2009 and Food & Wine's 'Best New Chef' honor for chef Roy Choi in 2010, according to Wikipedia.
