What happened after Food Paradise?

The show visited Factor's Famous Deli in Los Angeles, spotlighting the deli's traditional sandwiches, matzo ball soup, and other classic delicatessen fare. The restaurant has operated on West Pico Boulevard in the city's Pico-Robertson neighborhood since its founding in 1948, and the Markowitz family has run the business since 1969. In September 2026, Yelp's listing for the deli showed continued activity with hundreds of reviews at the same Pico Boulevard address, and Google's Places record listed the business as operational. The deli's own website continues to advertise its menu of sandwiches and sides, though the site could not be independently loaded during this check. Both listings reflect the same Pico Boulevard address and phone number that have identified the deli since the Markowitz family took over operations in 1969.
