Man v. Food, Season 7, Episode 6 Aired

In the Casey Webb-hosted Palm Springs, California episode that aired 2018-06-18, Man v. Food visited Melvyn's, a fine-dining restaurant and lounge at 200 West Ramon Road inside the Ingleside Inn (now Ingleside Estate) known for classic American steak and seafood dishes served in a vintage 1970s-style dining room. The restaurant has operated at the same address since the 1970s and was historically a gathering spot for celebrities including Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe, per the property's own history page. Melvyn's own restaurant page carries an update timestamp of 2026-08-17 and lists current dinner, bar-service, and nightly live-music hours, and the venue continues taking reservations through OpenTable as of the same period. Recent press mentions, including a 2023 Wine Spectator award noted on the restaurant's own site, indicate Melvyn's remains an active Palm Springs dining destination.
