What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode, 'A Taste of Time' (S13E5), featured Bayley's Bait Shed, a Pine Point seafood restaurant in Scarborough, Maine, now doing business as The Bait Shed. According to the restaurant's own site (baitshedrestaurant.com), the business traces to 1915, when Stephen E. Bayley settled in Pine Point, dug clams in Jones Creek, and trapped lobsters off the Maine coast; his wife Ella began cooking and selling the surplus lobsters through her kitchen window. Since the episode, the current name, The Bait Shed, appears in both Google's business-profile data and on the restaurant's own site, which offered takeout ordering, a menu, and gift cards when checked on September 9, 2026, with copyright and page content both dated 2026. Google's listing marked the business operational the same day.
