What happened after Man v. Food?
Man v. Food Nation (Travel Channel) visited Sadie's, a New Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque, for the episode that aired 2011-06-22, sampling the restaurant's New Mexican fare. Sadie's on Academy is a restaurant at 5400 Academy Rd NE serving enchiladas, carne adovada, burritos, and stuffed sopapillas. The restaurant's own website (sadiesofnewmexico.com), checked 2026-09-08, still displayed a 2020 copyright date, so that page alone does not establish current operation. According to Yelp, updated September 2026, Sadie's carries 683 reviews and 667 photos at its Academy Road address, a rating of 4.2 of 5, and a rank of 45th of 1,314 Albuquerque restaurants. The September 2026 Yelp update is the most recent dated evidence located confirming the property remains active, and an OpenTable listing for the restaurant, also current for 2026, shows the restaurant still taking reservations at the same address.
