What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
"Best Thing I Ever Ate," "Trigger Foods" (S10E1), featured Le Coq Rico's whole roasted heritage-breed chicken, showing the restaurant's signature vertical rotisserie and the crackling-skinned birds that came off it. The Flatiron-district bistro, a New York outpost of the French poultry specialist Le Coq Rico, sat at 30 East 20th Street and built its menu around slow-roasted, antibiotic-free chickens, guinea hens, and other whole-roasted birds. According to a Yelp business listing updated 2026-07, the 20th Street address now shows as closed. Gayot's restaurant guide separately lists Le Coq Rico New York as closed, with no current listing for hours or reservations at that address. No dated announcement of a relocation or reopening for the Flatiron location was found in the sources checked.
