What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode highlighted Mason Dixie Biscuit Co.'s biscuit sandwich, built on the company's scratch-made buttermilk biscuit and paired with fillings such as fried chicken, the item that built the brand's reputation in Washington, DC. Mason Dixie started as a stall-style biscuit counter and became known for turning a Southern breakfast staple into a full sandwich program. The business first operated out of DC's Union Market food hall before relocating; a Yellow Pages listing and an April 19, 2019 blog post from DC Bike Blogger place a Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. storefront at 2301 Bladensburg Rd NE.

On March 6, 2020, Retail Dive reported that parent company Mason Dixie Foods was launching two new packaged-biscuit product lines for grocery distribution, pointing to a shift toward retail sales. A Yelp listing updated in July 2026 marks Mason Dixie's restaurant location at 1819 7th St NW as closed, and the company has pivoted to a packaged frozen-foods business, masondixiefoods.com, with no indication of a reopened DC storefront.
