What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Brain Freeze' episode (S11E10) featured CottonHi, a Koreatown dessert shop known for piling fluffy, non-artificial cotton candy atop soft-serve ice cream and other frozen treats, according to LAist. CottonHi operated from 3825 W 6th St in Los Angeles's Koreatown neighborhood. A site and listings check on 2026-09-08 found that address now occupied by a different business, 88 Hotdog & Juicy Korean Street Food and Smoothies, listed as operational on Google Places with a live online ordering site at order.88hotdog-juicy.com. No current website or social account for CottonHi itself turned up in that check. Koreatown LA Directory and Visit Koreatown pages still list CottonHi at the 6th Street address, but neither carries a 2026-dated update confirming it is still serving there.
