What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate highlighted Robicelli's, a Bay Ridge, Brooklyn bakery known for combination-driven cupcakes such as a chicken-and-waffles cupcake and a Nutella-filled 'Nutellasagna,' developed by owners Allison and Matt Robicelli. The couple opened the Bay Ridge storefront in 2013, building on a wholesale cupcake business they had already run in New York for years. DNAinfo reported on 2015-10-27 that the Robicellis planned to close the 5th Avenue shop on December 24, 2015 and relocate their family and business to Baltimore, citing the rising cost of running a small storefront in the city.
Brownstoner separately reported the same move, noting the wholesale operation would remain in New York. As of 2026, the Robicelli's domain name is listed for sale through GoDaddy, and a Yelp listing for the Bay Ridge address, updated 2026-08, marks it permanently closed.
