What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Best Thing I Ever Ate (Food Network) featured the restaurant in its Holiday Delights episode (S11E5). Marjie's Grill is a wood-fire Southern restaurant at 320 South Broad Avenue in New Orleans's Mid-City area; OpenTable lists it as a barbecue-style restaurant taking reservations. Sources conflict on current status: Yelp's page for the business carries a closed-business marker dated January 2026, while OpenTable's 2026 listing and the business's Instagram account both show a Monday-Saturday 5-10pm dinner schedule posted in 2026. Because a dated closure marker on one directory conflicts with active reservation and hours listings on two other current sources, this record could not be resolved to a single confirmed status and is left as unverified rather than guessed.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Marjie's Grill in New Orleans, Louisiana, for the January 11, 2019 episode "Piling on the Pork" (S30E1), the same episode that featured New Orleans's Turkey and the Wolf. The restaurant operates at 320 S Broad St. A Food Network video titled "Guy Fieri Eats Honey Butter Yardbird," posted around the show's January 2019 air date, showed Fieri sampling the restaurant's honey butter yardbird and crispy pork knuckles. The New Orleans Advocate's Gambit section previewed the episode in a January 2019 article, confirming the restaurant's scheduled appearance on the show.
