What happened on the show
Cray Eatery and Drinkery on North Fourth Street in Columbus, Ohio drew its thirteenth season visit as a struggling spot betting on an Irvine reset. Cray got the series standard package, a two day reset on the network's modest remodeling fund and the usual cycle of a tasting, a frank look, and a reopening. The episode's on camera particulars are missing from the Wikipedia log, so we withhold them instead of making them up. The aftermath is a closure: a MapQuest listing marks the Columbus address as shut, the clearest available signal despite a direct fetch that returned only transient errors. Cray belongs with the thirteenth season cases whose televised fresh start did not hold, one more restaurant that closed within a few years of its moment on the show.
After the cameras left
Cray Eatery and Drinkery has closed. A MapQuest listing marks the North 4th Street business as closed, which anchors the status, though the sourcing came after a direct load returned a transient error, so confidence lands in the middle, and we assign no date. The Columbus eatery no longer trades; without a dated news account we leave the timing unstated, but the directory's closed flag places it among the ambush season's shuttered rooms rather than its survivors.
