What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food, Casey Webb stopped at Seoul Food Meat Company in Charlotte's South End, a Korean fusion barbecue restaurant known for smoked meats paired with inventive sides. The restaurant opened around 2016 in a space with garage-door patio seating, building on Korean barbecue traditions with Southern and American touches. Since the episode, the business has expanded rather than contracted: Seoul Food Meat Company added a second, larger location in Charlotte's Mill District, according to the restaurant's own website, which lists both the South End original and the newer Mill District spot as active.

Charlotte's Got A Lot, a local dining directory, also carries both locations as current listings. The South End location remains the address of record for the restaurant featured on the show, while the Mill District expansion reflects the chain's continued growth in the Charlotte market since its Man v. Food appearance.
