What happened after Man v. Food?

In the Casey Webb-hosted Savannah, Georgia episode that aired 2018-06-11, Man v. Food featured Papa Buck's BBQ and its Pigzilla challenge, a four-pound pulled-pork sandwich piled with three pounds of mustard-based barbecue pork on a sweet Hawaiian bun that Casey Webb attempted on camera, per the show's own episode synopsis. Though the episode groups the stop under the Savannah city name, Papa Buck's BBQ is located at 1085 South Lewis Street in Metter, Georgia, roughly an hour west of Savannah near Interstate 16, where it grew from a 2007 food truck in nearby Twin City into a sit-down restaurant; a second location later opened in Vidalia, Georgia. Yelp's business page for the Metter location was updated July 2026 with active reviews praising the brisket and pulled pork, and the business's own website continues listing current hours and online ordering for both locations.
