What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The Cooking Channel's 'Best Thing I Ever Ate' episode 'On the Waterfront' spotlighted a Cape Cod seafood specialty at Seafood Sam's, part of a family-run chain that has served the region for more than 50 years. The Sandwich, Massachusetts location serves classic New England seafood-shack fare, from fried clams to lobster rolls, in a casual waterside setting. According to seafoodsams.com, the restaurant continues to operate at 6 Coast Guard Road, listing an active online ordering system and a 2026 promotion inviting customers to write a dish review for a chance to win $500, with the drawing set for October 1. The site also lists additional locations, including Falmouth, and offers gift cards alongside its regular seafood menu. Seafood Sam's markets itself as a Cape Cod institution built around simply prepared, quality seafood.
