What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise's 2013 episode 'Deep Fried Paradise 3: Grease is the Word' (Travel Channel), the show visited Dos Diablos, a Mexican-themed restaurant and bar on West Hubbard Street in downtown Chicago, spotlighting its fried bar snacks. Google Places lists Dos Diablos's business status as permanently closed as of the most recent check. A check of the restaurant's former website, dosdiabloschicago.com, on September 8, 2026, found the domain no longer serving any restaurant content — the page displayed unrelated Japanese-language promotional text — and it carried a last-modified date of January 16, 2018, indicating the site had already gone dormant or been repurposed years before that check. The episode itself was part of a broader look at deep-fried bar food served at restaurants across several U.S. cities.
