What happened after Man v. Food?

In the Casey Webb-hosted Palm Springs, California episode that aired 2018-06-18, Man v. Food visited Manhattan in the Desert, a New York-style delicatessen, bakery, and restaurant at 2665 East Palm Canyon Drive serving corned beef, pastrami, brisket, and other deli-counter classics alongside an in-house bakery producing its own breads and desserts. The business serves breakfast through dinner seven days a week, per its own restaurant listings, giving it a broader daily footprint than a typical delicatessen. Yelp's business page for Manhattan in the Desert was updated July 2026 with active recent reviews describing the deli's pastrami and dessert case, and OpenTable's own 2026 listing separately shows current reservation availability. Together, the two sources indicate the restaurant continues operating at its original Palm Canyon Drive address as of mid-2026.
