What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Best Thing I Ever Ate's episode "Fried and Gone to Heaven" featured Salt & Straw's small-batch ice cream, built around rotating, chef-driven flavor combinations. Salt & Straw operates a scoop shop on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, part of a chain that began as a single Portland, Oregon cart. The company's website, saltandstraw.com, carried a 2026 copyright notice and current-year flavor content in a 2026-09-08 check, along with an active shopping cart and a nationwide pint-shipping option requiring a minimum order of five pints. The corporate site did not show a dedicated online-ordering flow for in-store pickup at the West Hollywood location specifically.
