What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Barbusa's wood-fired Italian cooking and handmade pasta menu in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood. According to the restaurant's own website, last modified 2026-09-09 and carrying a 2026 copyright notice, Barbusa lists Sunday dinner hours of 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday-and-Saturday hours running until 10 p.m., with an active online ordering cart, food and drink menus, a wine list, and pages for private events and merchandise. Those current-year markers, the recent modification date, and a working ordering system are consistent with a restaurant that continues to operate at its India Street address rather than a dormant web page.
