What happened after Man v. Food?
Man v. Food's Chicago episode visited Timothy O'Toole's Pub in Streeterville for its wing lineup and the Big Timmy Burger, both called out on the restaurant's own website as items "seen on Man Vs Food." The sports bar has operated at 622 N. Fairbanks Court since 1992, according to its website, and now shows 72 HD televisions and pours 48 beers on tap alongside a menu built around wings, burgers, and pub fare. Timothy O'Toole's has since expanded into two suburban Chicago-area locations, in Gurnee and in Libertyville, each with its own kitchen, bar, and events calendar, per the company's website. Yelp's listing for the original Fairbanks Court location carries reviews updated through July 2026, showing the pub still keeping late weekend hours -- open until 3 a.m. on Fridays and until 3 a.m. on Saturdays -- consistent with the sports-bar format featured on the show.
