What happened after Food Paradise?
The episode featured Elbows Mac N' Cheese's creative macaroni and cheese, built from gourmet cheese blends and a range of mix-in toppings for build-your-own bowls, alongside a broader New American comfort-food menu. Elbows Mac N' Cheese operated as a casual New American restaurant on South Street in Cerritos, California, and also ran a second location in Brea, California. Google's listing marks the Cerritos location as permanently closed, and Yelp's listing for the same address, updated July 2026, carries the same closed designation. Yelp's separate listing for the Brea location, updated August 2026, also shows it closed. A Yelp community post from a visitor who arrived to find the Cerritos restaurant shuttered suggests the closure caught at least some longtime customers by surprise.
