What happened after Man v. Food?

On Man v. Food, Casey Webb tried "The Babe" at The Waffle Experience in Sacramento, a stacked sandwich of hamburger patty, carnitas, bacon, a fried egg, and onion rings between two halves of a savory liege waffle, per episode listings and Rotten Tomatoes. The Waffle Experience was a breakfast-and-brunch restaurant that later expanded to a Gateway Park Boulevard address in Sacramento and a second location in nearby Folsom, according to online ordering pages archived for both addresses. The episode aired July 2, 2019. A Yelp listing for the Gateway Park Boulevard location, updated July 2026, marks the restaurant as permanently closed; a separate Yelp listing for the Folsom location, updated March 2026, shows the same closed status. No independent news report giving a specific closure date for either location was found.
