What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food (S4E24, aired 2011-11-16) featured Side Street Inn, a casual Honolulu restaurant known for Hawaii regional plates: fried pork chops, kim chee, opaka-paka fish, and heaping mounds of fried rice served family-style. According to Hoodline, the restaurant's separate Kapahulu Avenue location, open for nearly 20 years, closed after the first week of April 2026 as its owners finalized a new lease in Waikiki; the same article reported that the original Ala Moana-area location on Hopaka Street will continue serving customers. The restaurant's website, checked on 2026-09-08, showed current hours and an active online ordering system for the Hopaka Street location, consistent with it remaining open.
