What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

On Best Thing I Ever Ate's "Nutty" episode, Wolfgang Puck picked the coffee macaron at Payard Patisserie & Bistro, pastry chef Francois Payard's French patisserie and bistro inside Caesars Palace, known for a rotating daily selection of macaron flavors and a floor-to-ceiling chocolate clock that displayed nine time zones and dispensed free truffles to guests. Payard Patisserie & Bistro operated at 3570 Las Vegas Boulevard South in Las Vegas, inside Caesars Palace, after debuting there in November 2007 as one of the Strip's dedicated dessert destinations. Vegas Food & Fun reports the restaurant closed in November 2017, a decade after it opened, without giving a specific reason for the closure. Yelp's business listing for Payard, updated August 2026, still marks the restaurant permanently closed.
