What happened after Man v. Food?

Casey Webb's challenge stop in Salt Lake City was Penny Ann's Cafe, a breakfast-and-lunch restaurant that opened in 2011 and built its reputation on an oversized stack called the Heavenly Hot Cakes. Casey took on the P.A.C. Stack Challenge, ten sour cream-based pancakes topped with caramel sauce, candied pecans, and whipped cream, weighing 3.5 pounds and requiring completion in thirty minutes; the challenge had gone undefeated before his attempt. He slowed early while savoring the pancakes and struggled with the sticky caramel and pecan topping, but a late sugar rush let him finish with twelve seconds to spare, becoming the challenge's first winner and receiving a hot cake mix and maple syrup as a prize. The business's own website, last updated in March 2026, lists five active Utah locations, including the original Salt Lake City address, and shows the cafe named Best of State for Best Breakfast in Utah every year from 2015 through 2025.
