What happened after Food Paradise?

"Hot Dog Paradise" (S1E3) featured Franktitude, a Miami hot dog concept offering beef, chicken, tofu and salmon franks on white, poppy-seed or whole-grain buns, dressed with a roughly two-dozen-item list of toppings that included tomatoes, chili, olives, cucumbers, avocado, strawberries and wasabi mayonnaise, according to Miami New Times. Founder Ari Wurmann developed the concept, which was built around a simplified kitchen so operators with no restaurant experience could run it, per Nation's Restaurant News. Franktitude operated multiple South Florida locations, including a shop on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood, and the concept was also designed with franchising in mind, according to Fast Casual. Yelp listings for the Biscayne Boulevard address and for a second Miami location on NW 12th Street, updated February and March 2026 respectively, both mark the restaurant permanently closed.
