What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Saba appeared in the episode "Feast of the Middle East," which featured the restaurant's Israeli-influenced menu. Saba is a restaurant in Uptown New Orleans led by chef Alon Shaya, drawing on the culinary landscape of Israel with influences from the Middle East, Europe and North Africa, according to a Yelp business listing. That Yelp listing, updated 2026-07, showed 1,241 photos and 632 reviews with hours for dinner Wednesday through Sunday and brunch Friday through Sunday, and gave no indication the restaurant had closed. The restaurant is located at 5757 Magazine Street. No second independent source was checked for this record, so the current-open determination rests on the single, recently updated Yelp listing.
