What happened after Food Paradise?
In the Season 9 episode 'Iconic Eats', the show featured DCity Smokehouse, a Washington, D.C. barbecue counter known for slow-smoked brisket, pit-smoked wings, and other DC-style barbecue plates. The business opened in the Bloomingdale neighborhood and describes itself as home to DC-style barbecue alongside an on-site whiskey bar. According to Yelp, the original Florida Avenue NW location has an active listing updated July 2026 with current hours and photos. Yelp also lists a second DCity Smokehouse location on Good Hope Road SE in Anacostia, with a listing updated May 2026, indicating the business has expanded to a second Washington, D.C. location since its television appearance. The company's own website still displays older content dated 2020-2021, but the Yelp listings for both locations reflect ongoing, current operation.
