What happened after Food Paradise?

The Food Paradise episode "Cruisin' the Coasts" (S17E1) featured Elliott's Oyster House, a Pier 56 seafood house that has served Seattle's waterfront since 1975. The restaurant runs an oyster bar stocked with 24 to 26 varieties alongside sustainably sourced Dungeness crab, wild salmon, and house-smoked Pacific seafood, and Food & Wine magazine has ranked it among the top oyster houses in the country. The pier building itself dates to 1902, rebuilt by the Northern Pacific Railroad after the 1889 Great Seattle Fire destroyed the original Arlington Dock. According to Yelp, whose listing was updated in June 2026, Elliott's Oyster House remains open; the restaurant's own website, last modified September 7, 2026, advertised its "33rd Annual Oyster New Year" event and a return of happy hour after Labor Day.
