What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food's Miami-area special (aired 2010-02-03) visited the Sports Grill location on Bird Road, part of a Miami-based chain built around chicken wings. The Bird Road location opened in August 2009, a few months before the episode aired, and the chain traces its own roots to 1988, according to its website, sportsgrill.com. Sports Grill is not the same business as Sandbar Sports Grill in Coconut Grove, a separate, unrelated restaurant known for fish tacos. Checked on 2026-09-08, the Bird Road location's own site, sportsgrillmiami.com, was live and current, describing the restaurant as the Miami Herald's pick for best lunch spot, burgers and drinks, and advertising active hiring. A Yelp listing for the same address, updated in July 2026, recorded 435 reviews, corroborating the business's continued operation at 11481 Southwest 40th Street.
