What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food (S1E04, aired 2008-12-10) featured Ohio Deli & Restaurant in Columbus, spotlighting the restaurant's 2.5-pound Dagwood sandwich challenge, a stack of smoked turkey, Virginia ham, and roast sirloin piled with American and Swiss cheese, red onions, and roasted-garlic mayonnaise. According to a Facebook post from series host Adam Richman, the Dagwood challenge at Ohio Deli was the site of the show's first full episode. The restaurant operated at 3444 S High St in Columbus, a different address and city from the Canton, Ohio, deli that this record's automated location match had initially identified. Yelp's page for Ohio Deli And Restaurant, updated September 2026, listed the business as permanently closed at that South High Street address, and no current website for the restaurant could be located.
