Nick Elmi closed ITV to merge the space with Laurel, and left Royal Boucherie a few years ago.
Also, Leah Cohen suddenly closed both of her NY restaurants earlier this summer - she was supposed to open up a Pig & Khao location here but I assume that project is dead or at least on hold. Coincidentally we went to dinner last night right across the street from where it's supposed to go, it looked like no work had been done in several months.
Those are really impressive numbers. The talent on the show is always at an elite level. It’s great to see people in their hometowns showing appreciation for their skills!
A few updates from Philly:
Jen Carroll is no longer with Spice Finch, since prior to summer 2023 (https://centercityphila.org/blog/twenty-weeks-twenty-stories-spice-finch); the restaurant remains open.
Jen Zavala still runs Juana Tamale.

Do you know if these folks were/are owners and/or executive chefs? I want to make sure that's accurately reflected for all of them (if you know!)
Thanks!
The UWS Pig and Khao is still open. The original and the Piggyback location shut
Appreciate you!
