What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food (S4E23, aired 2011-11-09) featured Tubby's Tank House, a seafood restaurant on the water in Thunderbolt, Georgia, just outside Savannah. The restaurant's website, checked on 2026-09-08, showed current hours, an online ordering system, and 2026 copyright dates, now branded on its homepage as Tubby's Seafood, though its About page still carries the Tubby's Tank House name. Yelp's listing for the restaurant, updated in July 2026, showed no closure marker and continuing customer activity, consistent with the business remaining open at 2909 River Dr. The episode description further characterizes Tubby's fare as fresh Lowcountry seafood, a regional culinary label the site's own current branding does not otherwise use.
