What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food's Hartford-area episode (aired 2009-12-16) stopped at Randy's Wooster St. Pizza Shop, a pizzeria whose name nods to New Haven's famous Wooster Street pizza corridor. The shop operates in Manchester, Connecticut, rather than in Hartford as the episode's own location listing shows. Checked on 2026-09-08, the business's website, randyswoosterstreetpizzamenu.com, displayed a 2026 copyright date and marked the shop as open, listing hours of 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and an address of 285 E Center Street. The same site offered online ordering with a 10 percent discount for orders placed through the website and listed the shop under the current name Randy's Wooster Street Pizza. Google Places separately recorded the business as operational on 2026-09-08, corroborating the website's own current listing.
