What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The 'Key Ingredient' episode featured Scarlett Begonia, a breakfast-and-brunch restaurant in downtown Santa Barbara built around a rotating key-ingredient concept for its daily specials. The restaurant has operated at 21 West Victoria Street since relocating to that address around 2020, according to a 2020 item on SantaBarbara.com describing the move to its current home in the Victoria Court complex. A site check on 2026-09-08 found scarlettbegonia.net returning no response, but Yelp's listing for the restaurant, updated in August 2026, lists current breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily at the same Victoria Street address. Santa Barbara's official tourism site, SantaBarbaraCA.com, also carries an active business listing for the restaurant at that address. No source located during this check described the business as closed or relocated from Victoria Street.
