What happened after Man v. Food?

West Rib Deli & Pub was featured in the Anchorage episode that aired 2009-11-18, appearing as a casual sandwich-and-bar spot combining a deli counter with a full pub menu, a format typical of the neighborhood eateries the show highlighted that season. Independent detail about the business's original ownership, founding date, or exact address is limited in public records. A Google Places search for the business name returned a different, unrelated Anchorage restaurant, the Bear Paw Bar & Grill, at another address, so that result was not treated as evidence about West Rib Deli & Pub. A further search of Anchorage restaurant listings and Yelp did not surface any page under the name West Rib Deli & Pub, current or archived, and no dated source discussing the business past its 2009 television appearance was found.
