What happened after Food Paradise?

5280 Burger Bar appeared in Food Paradise's "Apps Download" episode (S14E6). It is a downtown Denver burger restaurant in the 16th Street Mall retail corridor, known for a build-your-own burger menu and additional locations around the metro area. In September 2026, Google's listing showed the 16th Street Mall location as temporarily closed, and the restaurant's own website blocked access when checked. In the same September 2026 check, however, Yelp's listing for the Downtown Denver location at 500 16th St had been updated that month with no closure flag, Tripadvisor and Facebook pages for the business remained active, and the Denver Pavilions mall's store directory and the VisitDenver tourism site both listed 5280 Burger Bar as a current tenant and published current hours.
