What happened after Man v. Food?

The same January 11, 2022 Richmond episode of Man v. Food also stopped at Station 2, a gourmet-burger and craft-beer restaurant built inside a former city firehouse, per RVAHub's coverage of the taping. The building at 2016 East Main Street housed Richmond's Engine Company 2 from 1899 until 1962, according to the restaurant's own site. Wikipedia's episode list for the series records the Richmond episode's food challenge as the Ladder Burger Challenge, a triple-decker cheeseburger served with fries, potato chips, and sweet potato tater tots totaling roughly 3.5 pounds, without specifying which of the episode's stops hosted it.

Station 2's menu remains centered on burgers and rotating draft beers. The restaurant's own website, copyrighted 2026, lists current daily hours of 11 a.m. to midnight and an active Toast online-ordering link, and now promotes a newer sister restaurant, Oak & Apple, in the same neighborhood.
