What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The Thanksgiving episode (S11E3) featured L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, the counter-style tasting-menu restaurant chef Joël Robuchon opened inside the MGM Grand Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The concept seats diners around a red-and-black lacquered counter facing an open kitchen, serving small French-technique plates, a format Robuchon originated in Paris before bringing it to Las Vegas. It shares the MGM Grand with Robuchon's more formal namesake dining room. A Yelp listing updated in September 2026 shows the restaurant operating with regular hours, Monday and Thursday through Sunday evenings. Marriott's Bonvoy dining directory also lists L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon as a current MGM Grand restaurant. The restaurant closed temporarily during the 2020 pandemic shutdown before later reopening.
