What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food (S4E21, aired 2011-10-26) featured The Drover, an Omaha steakhouse known for whiskey-marinated steaks, where Adam Richman sampled a bone-in ribeye soaked in the restaurant's secret whiskey marinade. The Drover opened at 2121 S 73rd St in 1969 as the Cork 'N Cleaver, changing to its current name about a decade later, according to Flatwater Free Press. The restaurant's website, checked on 2026-09-08, listed current hours, an online ordering system, gift cards, and 2026 copyright dates, and continues to promote itself as Omaha's original whiskey-steak restaurant, with a full dinner menu and reservations by phone.
