What happened after Man v. Food?

In the Alaska episode, Casey Webb visited Slippery Salmon Bar & Grill in downtown Anchorage to crack into a plate of crab legs, according to the episode. The restaurant operated on East Third Avenue, near Anchorage's downtown waterfront district and cruise-ship docks, an area with several visitor-facing seafood spots. A Yelp listing for the East Third Avenue address showed a permanently-closed label as of a September 2026 review of the page; no news coverage or business statement addressing a closure has been located to date. The Alaska episode also included Denali BrewPub in Talkeetna and a caribou-burger challenge at West Rib Pub and Grill, according to episode summaries, placing Slippery Salmon within a multi-stop statewide itinerary that ranged well beyond a single city.
