What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food, Casey Webb visited Martin's Tavern in Georgetown, sampling the classic American fare — steaks, seafood, and brunch dishes — that has defined the restaurant's menu since it opened in 1933, according to the tavern's own website. The episode noted the tavern's status as Washington's oldest family-run restaurant, now in its fourth generation under the Martin family, per the business's own history page. Martin's has continued operating at 1264 Wisconsin Avenue NW since the 2020 broadcast; the restaurant's website, with content dated August 2026, lists current hours, menus, and a reservation link through Resy, confirming ongoing operation at the same address. Fourth-generation owner Wm. 'Billy' Martin Jr. is quoted on the site describing the goal of making guests 'feel recognized, important and respected,' unchanged from the tavern's long-standing service approach.
