What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Bobcat Bonnie's mix of scratch-made brunch and dinner fare, cocktails, and retro arcade games in a converted downtown storefront. Bobcat Bonnie's is a bar-and-restaurant chain that ClickOnDetroit reported was founded in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood in 2015 (2025-03-04) before expanding to other Michigan cities, including a location at 118 Sycamore Street in downtown Wyandotte. According to Patch, owner Matt Buskard closed the Wyandotte location on 2025-01-26 as part of downsizing the chain, saying it was time to "continue our goal of making ourselves a bit smaller." A Yelp listing for the Wyandotte location was updated in September 2026 and continues to mark it permanently closed; ClickOnDetroit reported the chain's original Corktown location also closed, in March 2025, after ten years in business.
