What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

On 'Hidden Treasures,' host Beau MacMillan featured the Kalamata sandwich at Queen Creek Olive Mill, a sandwich made with salami, capicola, arugula and a creamy dressing, according to Food Network's restaurant listing. Queen Creek Olive Mill describes itself as Arizona's only working olive mill, an agritourism property in Queen Creek that combines an olive grove and mill with a gourmet marketplace and an Italian-inspired, farm-to-table eatery. According to a Yelp listing updated in August 2026 with more than 500 reviews, the property remains an active restaurant and retail destination, and a KTAR.com news article reports the Olive Mill's operator, In Good Spirits Hospitality, is opening a related restaurant called the Olive Farmer in Phoenix.

The mill's address is listed on its own site as 25062 South Meridian Road, Queen Creek, rather than the West Combs Road address on file, though both roads border the same property. No reporting was found describing a closure or relocation of the Queen Creek location.
