What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Luna Park in Los Angeles appeared on Best Thing I Ever Ate's 'Sugar Rush' episode, where chef Sandra Lee highlighted the restaurant's s'mores dessert, according to Foodiepie's episode catalog, which notes the same s'mores preparation was also served at a sister Luna Park location in San Francisco. Luna Park was a California bistro-style restaurant with a lively bar scene at 672 South La Brea Avenue in the Mid-City West area of Los Angeles, according to Gayot. A Yelp listing for that address, updated 2026-09, marks Luna Park as permanently closed.

Gayot's review page categorizes the restaurant as closed, and Urban Dining Guide lists the same address as closed. None of the listings found gives an exact closing date, and no news coverage of the closure turned up in the sources checked.
