What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise (Travel Channel) featured Dinah's Chicken, a fried chicken restaurant in Glendale, California, in its 2013 episode "Fried Chicken Paradise" (S4E15, aired 2013). According to Wikipedia, Dinah's Chicken was established in 1967 by the Pearson family, who still operate the restaurant, and Eater has praised the restaurant's pressure-cooking deep-fryer technique for producing notably moist chicken despite the long cook time the method requires. The restaurant's own website returned an HTTP 403 error during a 2026-09-08 automated check, blocking direct confirmation, but a September 2026 search found an order.online delivery listing and an Instagram account (@dinahsfriedchicken) both showing current activity for the 4106 San Fernando Road location, and Google Places listed the business as operational. Together, the delivery listing, the active social account, and the Places status point to the restaurant still serving the same fried chicken it was known for on the show.
