What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode featured Turtle Bread Company, a bakery-café on Chicago Avenue in South Minneapolis known for scratch-made breads, pastries, soups, salads, and sandwiches. The shop pairs a full bakery case with counter-service lunch fare and indoor and outdoor seating in the Chicago-Lyndale neighborhood. A Yelp listing updated in July 2026 lists the business as open with a 4.4-star rating from more than 790 reviews and Thursday hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The bakery's phone number, (612) 823-7333, matches the number listed in current public directories. Turtle Bread Company operates as a standalone neighborhood bakery rather than a chain location. The bakery does not run an online-ordering system on its own site, so counter service remains the primary way customers place orders.
