What happened after Man v. Food?

Also shown in the 2019-10-29 Manchester episode was Smoke Shack Southern Barbecue, then operating in Manchester, New Hampshire and serving Carolina-style slow-smoked barbecue. Per the business's own website, Smoke Shack specializes in slow-smoked meats and offers catering alongside its restaurant service. The company's current contact page, dated 2026, lists its restaurant location as 146 King Street in Boscawen, New Hampshire, open seasonally from March through November, along with separate seasonal concession locations at the New England Dragway in Epping and the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon.

Older listings, including a Groupon page, place a Smoke Shack Southern Barbecue location on South Willow Street in Manchester, matching the New Hampshire city named for this episode. The business's own current site no longer lists a Manchester address, showing the restaurant operation consolidated at the Boscawen location by 2026.
