What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food (S1E03, aired 2008-12-10) featured Quaker Steak & Lube in Pittsburgh, spotlighting the chain's wing-eating challenge and motorsports-themed dining room. According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-07-13), the chain was founded in 1974 in Sharon, Pennsylvania, built into a former gas station and decorated with license plates and vintage automobiles. This location, a concession stand inside the football stadium at 100 Art Rooney Avenue, operated only on Pittsburgh Steelers game days and concert dates. A site check on 2026-09-08 found no active page for the location on the chain's own website, thelube.com, which returned a 404 error for the stadium address. A Google Places listing for the same address showed a status of temporarily closed as of the same 2026-09-08 check.
