What happened after Food Paradise?
Garrido's Bistro appeared on Food Paradise's Flavor Fiesta! episode (S16E5), which highlighted the restaurant's oversized arepa known as "The Punisher," stuffed with pulled beef, chicken, avocado, plantains, and cheese. The Garrido family opened the bistro in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan in spring 2015, blending Latin and European dishes with Venezuelan influences drawn from the family's roots, according to Hour Detroit. The family's heritage spans Spain, Germany, and Ukraine by way of Venezuela, a mix reflected in the restaurant's fusion menu, according to the same source. A Yelp listing for the business, updated June 2026, marked the restaurant as closed, and Google's listing marked it permanently closed as of a 2026-09-08 check. No operating website for the business was found.
