What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The Best Thing I Ever Ate's 'As Good as Mom's' episode featured La Poubelle, a French bistro on Franklin Avenue in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles known for home-style plates like roast chicken and mussels. The location data packet lists the restaurant as La Poubelle Bistro & Bar at 5907 Franklin Avenue with OpenStreetMap-sourced hours of 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily, suggesting a still-active listing. A site check on 2026-09-08, however, found the restaurant's own domain, lapoubellebistro.com, returning an HTTP 404 error with no page content. These two signals conflict, and no additional dated source was reached this session to resolve which one currently reflects the restaurant's status, so no closure or continued-operation claim is made here.
