What happened after Man v. Food?
Man v. Food host Casey Webb visited Steel City Samiches, a sandwich-focused bar and grille in Indiana, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, for the show's Stuffaluffagus eating challenge: a roughly five-pound sandwich built from a full loaf of Italian bread stuffed with meat, cheese, fries, and coleslaw, to be finished in 30 minutes for half off the price and a spot on the restaurant's wall of fame, per listings on EatFeats and bestfoodchallenges.com. Steel City Samiches was one of three Indiana-area concepts, alongside Twisted Jimmy's and Pig Iron Public House, owned by the Lang family. Thepenn.org, Indiana University of Pennsylvania's student newspaper, reported that the Lang family folded all three brands into a single Pig Iron Public House identity, with gift cards from the retired names honored at the surviving location. A fan site, Foodiepie.com, separately tags the Indiana, PA Steel City Samiches address as closed, and the samiches.com domain is now parked for sale.
