What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
An episode titled "Filled With Envy" featured Olives, chef Todd English's Mediterranean restaurant inside the W Union Square hotel at 201 Park Avenue South in New York, NY, serving Mediterranean-inspired small plates. Time Out New York and Gayot.com listings, both checked 2026-09-08, mark the restaurant as permanently closed; neither gives a specific closure date. A discussion thread on the dining forum DonRockwell.com referenced a closure attributed to renovations, though the page could not be retrieved to confirm details.
