What happened after Man v. Food?
On Man v. Food's Sacramento episode (S3E17, aired 2010-09-29), Adam Richman stopped at the Sweet Cheeks stand at the California State Fair, held at Cal Expo in Sacramento, for deep-fried desserts, according to a Sac Rag recap of the episode (sacrag.com, 2010-09-28). Sweet Cheeks operated as a seasonal fair concession rather than a fixed restaurant. A location lookup for Sweet Cheeks in the Sacramento area returned Sweet Cheeks Sugar Spa, a skin-care and sugaring business in Loomis, California; that business offers no food service and is treated here as an unrelated, differently named company, not the fair vendor. No current website, fair-vendor listing, or 2026-dated source confirming whether the dessert stand still operates, has closed, or has changed hands could be located during this check.
