What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food (S1E01, aired 2008-12-03) featured Youngblood's Stockyard Café in Amarillo, highlighting the restaurant's Texas home cooking. The business is led by CIA-trained chef Tim Youngblood and serves Texas comfort food from its Southwest 16th Avenue location near the historic Amarillo stockyards, offering both dine-in service and catering for local events. According to youngbloodscafe.com, the site listed a 2024 best-of-Amarillo recognition among its content. A site check on 2026-09-08 found the page carrying a 2026 copyright date, a last-modified header dated 2026-09-02, current daily specials, and posted weekend hours, according to the same website. The restaurant now markets itself as Youngblood's Cafe rather than the "Stockyard" name used when the Man v. Food episode aired in 2008, though it remains at the same Amarillo address.
