What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode 'In the Last Place You'd Expect' featured The Purple House, a wood-fired bakery and restaurant occupying a 544-square-foot former family cottage built in 1950 in North Yarmouth, Maine. According to the business's own website, the property has also served as a hot dog stand and a video store over the decades before its current use. The Purple House operates from 378 Walnut Hill Road, at the junction of Routes 9 and 115 in North Yarmouth. According to the restaurant's own website, checked in September 2026, The Purple House was preparing to open Fall 2026 lunch reservations on October 1, 2026, serving a fixed multi-course, communal-table lunch Thursday through Saturday, indicating the business remained active. A Yelp listing separately marked the restaurant closed as of a September 2026 update, a discrepancy that could not be resolved from sources checked during this check.
