What happened after Man v. Food?

In the same Newark, New Jersey episode, Casey Webb visited No Pão! in the city's Ironbound district, a neighborhood known for its concentration of Portuguese and Brazilian restaurants, according to Wikipedia's Man v. Food season 9 article. The restaurant's name is Portuguese for "on bread," and per the episode synopsis its menu reworks traditional Portuguese sandwich fillings into new combinations, including a pork sandwich layering three cuts of pork with pickles, Serrinha cheese and a spicy paprika sauce, and another built from five layers of meat and melted cheese under a fried egg in a braising broth. Webb tried the restaurant's Bifana, thinly sliced Boston pork butt marinated for twelve hours in paprika, red chili flakes, salt, pepper, bay leaves, white wine and garlic, then cooked in a sauce of olive oil, lard, more garlic, mustard, more white wine and paprika, before being loaded into a Portuguese bico roll that is dipped in the same sauce before serving.
