What happened after Food Paradise?
On Food Paradise's 'Hamburger Paradise 3' (S5E3), Capitol Burgers was featured for its classic grilled hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chili dogs at an old-school walk-up burger stand serving straightforward diner-style fare. According to the Neighborhood News Online, the business was founded by George Stamouvlasis, a Greek immigrant, in 1965, and operated for decades at 4301 W Pico Blvd in Los Angeles as a neighborhood fixture. The Google Places record initially matched to the show line actually referred to a similarly named but unrelated Washington, D.C. burger chain; the Los Angeles restaurant's correct address was located separately through a web search. A Yelp listing for Capitol Burgers, updated August 2026, is titled 'Capitol Burgers - Closed' and marks the location as permanently closed, with no fresher information found.
