What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" (episode "Burgers") featured The Breslin's lamb burger, topped with harissa mayonnaise and feta, at this British-inspired gastropub inside the Ace Hotel New York. Chef April Bloomfield and restaurateur Ken Friedman, known for other Manhattan gastropubs including The Spotted Pig, ran The Breslin as a whole-animal-focused restaurant serving dishes such as a pig's foot for two alongside the burger. The dining room and bar occupied the hotel's ground floor at 16 W 29th Street in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood. A Yelp listing for the address, updated June 2026, marks the business permanently closed, and Gayot's restaurant guide separately lists it as closed, though neither source gives a specific closure date. The restaurant was also known for a whole-roasted pig's head available with 24 hours' notice, a dish that became a signature of Bloomfield's nose-to-tail cooking style.
