What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode's location listing names only The Cosmopolitan, the Las Vegas Strip resort itself, rather than one specific restaurant inside it, so this entry covers the property as a whole. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas opened December 15, 2010, and today operates as a hotel-casino with dozens of dining venues rather than a single restaurant concept. According to Wikipedia's article on the property, MGM Resorts International has operated the resort since acquiring the contract in 2022, while the real estate is owned by a joint venture of Blackstone, the Cherng family trust behind Panda Express, and Stonepeak Partners.

Marriott's own listing for the property, part of its Autograph Collection and checked September 7, 2026, names more than 30 current dining venues at the resort, including Zuma, Scarpetta, STK, Momofuku, Jaleo, and China Poblano. No single restaurant name tied to this listing was confirmed in the sources checked, so this record is filed under the resort itself rather than one of its restaurants.
