What happened after Food Paradise?
In the 'Eat, Drink, Play' episode (S15E13), the show featured Carnivale, a Nuevo Latino restaurant in Chicago's West Loop known for a colorful, carnival-themed dining room alongside Latin American and Spanish-influenced dishes. The restaurant sits on West Fulton Street in Chicago's Fulton Market restaurant district. According to Carnivale's own website, checked 2026-09-08, the restaurant continues to run a working online ordering system, and the site currently promotes a '20th Anniversary' for the business. The website's active dinner, beverage, and events-calendar pages, along with the ordering function, indicate the restaurant remains in operation at its Fulton Street location, though the captured page text did not include an explicit current-year date. The site also lists a separate 'Rumba Lounge' bar menu alongside the dinner menu, suggesting both the main dining room and its attached lounge remain active.
