What happened after Food Paradise?
The episode featured Boogie McGee's Bayou Smokehouse BBQ's slow-smoked, Mississippi-style dry-rub meats, cooked over oak wood without added hormones or steroids, alongside a house pecan pie recipe. Boogie McGee's was a Louisiana-style barbecue restaurant in Los Angeles's Koreatown, opened in 2017 by chef-owner Kirk Kimball and named after the owners' dog. A Yelp listing for the Wilshire Boulevard location is marked closed, last updated in August 2026. According to the business's Facebook page, Boogie McGee's is closed for business in Los Angeles. The record's location data initially matched a different Venice, California barbecue restaurant under a different name; the address above reflects the corrected Koreatown location, though verified coordinates were not available.
