What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise's 'Chili Paradise' episode (2012), Chili Addiction appeared for its specialty chili varieties served at a storefront on North La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood. An initial location match, an addiction-treatment center on Harratt Street, was a name-collision mismatch rather than the featured restaurant; the correct 408 N La Cienega Blvd address was confirmed by search and re-geocoded through the Census API. According to the Food Network's restaurant directory, the business later operated under the name The Addiction Bistro at that same address, keeping a chili-forward, casual dining concept. A Yelp listing updated in February 2026 lists The Addiction Bistro as closed, after accumulating 729 reviews over its run at the location, a lifespan that spanned both its original chili-focused concept and its later rebrand.
