What happened after Man v. Food?
Man v. Food's Ann Arbor stop (S3E20, aired 2010-10-20) featured Maize and Blue Delicatessen, a deli near the University of Michigan campus serving deli-style sandwiches. The business operates today as Maize & Blue Deli at 1329 S. University Ave, a block lined with campus-area eateries. A site check on 2026-09-08 found the deli's website, maizeandbluedeli.com, returning a live page with an HTTP last-modified header dated the same day and an active online-ordering widget. A Google Places record checked the same day also listed the business as operational. Between the same-day server response and the working order system, the available evidence points to continuous, current operation at the University Ave location, though the page's visible text could not be extracted during the automated check to confirm menu-specific details.
