What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

A segment of the 'Bird Is The Word' episode featured Snackbar, chef John Currence's Southern brasserie at 721 North Lamar in Oxford, Mississippi. According to the restaurant's website, Snackbar opened in 2009 as part of Currence's City Grocery Restaurant Group and built its reputation on fresh raw oysters and locally sourced Southern cooking, now led by chef Sebastian Markowitz. Citygroceryonline.com, last modified 2026-08-20, listed current dinner hours of 5:30 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, along with a 2025 Michelin Guide selection badge and dated menu PDFs posted in August 2026, according to the site. This batch's read-only research did not surface a second independently dated source, so the restaurant's own current site is the sole basis for this record's open status.
