What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'Buttered Up' episode of Best Thing I Ever Ate featured Tillie's, a farm-to-table restaurant on Millburn Avenue in Short Hills, New Jersey, spotlighting a butter-forward dish from its seasonal menu. Tillie's is a bring-your-own-bottle (BYOB) restaurant serving locally sourced fare in the Millburn/Short Hills area of Essex County. Since the episode, the restaurant has remained active: OpenTable's listing for Tillie's, current as of 2026, shows it as bookable, and TripAdvisor's reviews page, updated August 2026, lists it among the top restaurants in Short Hills. Together, the two independently updated 2026 listings indicate Tillie's continued to operate through at least August 2026. No closure, relocation, or ownership-change reports were found in the available sources.
