What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
"Best Thing I Ever Ate" episode "Borrowed Favorites" featured the Magic Castle Hotel's poolside Popsicle Hotline, a phone line guests use to request free popsicles delivered to the pool. The property began as a 1950s Hollywood apartment building before its conversion into a boutique hotel, and it sits beside, but operates independently from, the private Magic Castle magicians' clubhouse for which it is named, though the hotel itself does not require membership to book a room. The hotel's website, magiccastlehotel.com, was live and current as of 2026-09-08, showing 2026-dated content along with active booking and availability-check tools on its homepage. The same site check found the homepage still promoting the property's rooms and guest experiences as a memorable place to stay, consistent with ongoing operation as of that date.
