What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food's Miami-area episode (aired 2010-02-03) featured La Moon, a Colombian restaurant on Southwest 8th Street known for oversized hot dogs called perros, including the SuperMoon perro topped with six sauces, crushed potato sticks and a quail egg. Time Out Miami separately described the restaurant as known for its salchipapas, a Colombian dish of French fries topped with meat, cheese and sauces. La Moon operated in Miami's Little Havana corridor along Southwest 8th Street, an area dense with Latin American restaurants. According to a Yelp listing updated in July 2026, the Southwest 8th Street location is now marked permanently closed, having accumulated 699 reviews and 429 photos over its run. Wikipedia's list of the show's stops also flags La Moon as closed, though that entry functions only as a lead rather than a dated source in its own right.
