What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode 'New Deli Done Right' (S10E9) featured Wexler's Deli, a Los Angeles-area Jewish delicatessen known for house-cured pastrami and bagels. An initial location match, a Santa Barbara address, was a different, unrelated business; the actual Santa Monica location operated from 616 Santa Monica Boulevard according to Visit Santa Monica's business page and an Uber Eats delivery listing for the address. Yelp marked the Santa Monica Boulevard location closed in an update dated June 2026, with the listing text reading 'Try Our New Menu.' A second Yelp listing for the brand's Century City location on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles was likewise marked closed, in an update dated March 2026. No source located confirmed an operating Wexler's Deli storefront at either Southern California address checked.
