What happened after Man v. Food?

At Mickey's Diner, a vintage railroad-car-style diner in downtown St. Paul, Casey Webb learned the counter staff's fast-paced routine for taking orders, grilling, and mixing malts. He tried the One-Eyed Jack, a grilled ham steak and fried egg sandwich with melted Monterey Jack cheese inside whole-wheat toast with a circular cutout on top, served alongside hash browns and a malt he helped make himself. Mickey's Diner opened in 1939 in a streamlined dining-car-style building and has operated from the same downtown St. Paul address since. Axios reported in October 2024 that the diner had reopened after being closed since before the pandemic, and a Yelp listing updated in September 2026 shows continued reviews and posted hours for the location, indicating the diner remains a going concern years after Webb's visit.
