What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'Holiday Delights' episode (S11E5) featured Sift Bake Shop, a French-inspired bakery in historic downtown Mystic, Connecticut, owned by James Beard-nominated pastry chef Adam Young. The shop is known for artisanal breads, breakfast pastries, and sweet and savory items made from scratch, alongside a full espresso and coffee bar. Sift later expanded beyond Mystic to additional Connecticut and Rhode Island locations, including Niantic and Watch Hill, according to the bakery's own website. A Yelp listing updated in July 2026 rates the Mystic shop 4.6 out of 5 and ranks it among the top restaurants in Mystic, with current hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The business's website lists 5 Water Street as the Mystic location's active address.
