What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode 'In the Last Place You'd Expect' featured Superior Motors, an American restaurant in Braddock, Pennsylvania associated with chef Kevin Sousa, according to a NEXTpittsburgh feature on the restaurant. The restaurant occupied a storefront at 1211 Braddock Avenue in the small Mon Valley steel town of Braddock, a few miles east of Pittsburgh. According to a Yelp business listing updated in August 2026, Superior Motors was marked closed, with no indication in that listing of when the closure occurred. According to TribLive, a different restaurant and brewpub operator, Braddock Public House, took over the former Superior Motors storefront on Braddock Avenue, though the date of that transition has not been reported.
