What happened after Man v. Food?

The Lobster Shack Restaurant appeared on Man v. Food's Portland, Maine episode (S3E14), which first aired September 8, 2010. The restaurant, now generally known as The Lobster Shack at Two Lights, sits on the rocks below the Two Lights lighthouses in Cape Elizabeth, just south of Portland, and serves lobster rolls, chowder, and fried seafood at an order-at-the-counter, oceanfront spot the restaurant's own website describes as a local landmark dating to the 1920s. According to the restaurant's own website, lobstershacktwolights.com, the site's server last-modified header shows a September 2, 2026 update, indicating the page was actively maintained close to this check. Google's business listing for The Lobster Shack at Two Lights separately lists the business status as operational, checked September 8, 2026. Its address, 225 Two Lights Rd, places it in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, rather than the Portland listed in the original episode entry.
