What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode highlighted B's Barbecue, one of the last remaining whole-hog, wood-cooked barbecue restaurants in the country, known for its Eastern North Carolina-style pork and smoked chicken served from an old general-store building with picnic tables. The restaurant is family-run by three sisters, daughters of founder Bill 'B' McLawhorn, and sits along State Road 1204 outside Greenville. A Tripadvisor listing checked on 2026-09-07 showed B's still rated the top quick-bite spot in Greenville, with reviews continuing to accumulate at the same address, and the Greenville, NC tourism bureau's own directory listed the restaurant with current hours of Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., noting the kitchen closes whenever the day's barbecue runs out. Local barbecue writers have long noted the restaurant has no website and, according to some listings, no phone line, relying instead on word of mouth and repeat visitors who arrive early before the food sells out.
