What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'On A Stick' episode featured minibar by José Andrés for its avant-garde tasting-menu bites, including skewered courses drawn from the kitchen's molecular-gastronomy repertoire. The restaurant, minibar by José Andrés, is a fine-dining venue paired with the adjoining Barmini cocktail bar, located at 855 E Street Northwest in Washington, D.C. According to the restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08, minibar and Barmini remain open, listing private-event bookings, an FAQ, and an active online reservation system. The site's current navigation and branding still center on chef José Andrés's tasting-menu concept for both the dining room and the adjoining cocktail bar. A separate business listing gives Tuesday-through-Saturday dinner service from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with the restaurant closed Sundays and Mondays. The same website check found no indication of a temporary closure or change in ownership at the address.
