What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode 'New Deli Done Right' (S10E9) featured The General Muir, an Atlanta delicatessen near Emory University known for house-cured meats and Jewish deli fare. The business operates from 1540 Avenue Place, Suite B-230, in the Emory Point development, according to Yelp's listing for the address. Yelp's page for The General Muir showed an update dated August 2026, listing 1,344 reviews and 1,846 photos. The Michelin Guide's website continued to include The General Muir among its listed Atlanta restaurants. A separate Yelp listing for a General Muir location on Blue Stone Road in Sandy Springs was marked closed, distinct from the Emory Point address the episode featured. No source located indicated a closure, relocation, or ownership change at the Avenue Place location.
On the September 2015 episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives titled 'Beef It Up,' Guy Fieri visited The General Muir, a modern Jewish deli near Emory University in Atlanta run by chef-owner Todd Ginsberg. The segment centered on the restaurant's pastrami, prepared in the style of a classic New York Jewish deli and served in a hash alongside eggs. According to Flavortown USA and the show's own Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives location archive, pastrami-braised collard greens and a stacked turkey sandwich are also among the deli's house specialties. The Food Network's restaurant directory lists the business at Emory Point, 1540 Avenue Place, Atlanta. This appearance is filed as an additional episode credit against the existing record for The General Muir (btiea-0783) rather than as a separate business.
