What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food's Hartford episode, which aired 2009-12-16, featured Woody's, a hot dog stand at 915 Main Street in downtown Hartford; the business's own Facebook page, under the handle woodyshotdogshartford, identifies it as a hot dog specialist. Wikipedia's episode-location list marks Woody's as closed, though that entry is a lead rather than a dated source on its own. Google Places recorded Woody's business status as CLOSED_PERMANENTLY as of 2026-09-08. The Facebook page linked to that listing, m.facebook.com/woodyshotdogshartford, returned only a browser-compatibility error message rather than current content when checked the same day, offering no further confirmation of when the stand stopped operating. Beyond its location and Facebook presence, no business website, review count, or founding date for Woody's could be identified in the sources reviewed.
