What happened after Food Paradise?

The Food Paradise episode 'Island Eats' featured Bluewater Grill's fresh seafood, served at its Catalina Island location in Avalon, California. Bluewater Grill is a seafood restaurant group, and its Avalon location on Crescent Avenue is listed by Google Places under the name Bluewater Avalon, though the business's own website, bluewatergrill.com, continued to refer to the location as part of the Bluewater Grill brand, according to the restaurant's own site. On 2026-09-09, the website listed an active online ordering system along with current menu and location information for the Catalina Island site, according to the business's own site.

Google Places also listed the location as operationally open on 2026-09-09, according to Google Places. Neither source indicated a closure or ownership change since the episode aired, though the naming discrepancy between the two sources was noted for the record.
