What happened after Food Paradise?

The 'Meltdown' episode featured Fondue Stube, a fondue restaurant that operated at 2717 W Peterson Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood on the city's North Side. According to Google Places, the business's status is now marked permanently closed. No working website was located for Fondue Stube, and no dated news article or social media post was found during this check documenting when or why the restaurant closed. Given how little public record remains for this business, this entry should be revisited if a dated source — a news article, a social media post, or a new listing for the Peterson Avenue address — later becomes available, so the closure date and the record's confidence can be updated accordingly.
