What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode, 'A Taste of Time' (S13E5), featured the Green Dragon Tavern, a Boston bar whose name recalls the original Green Dragon Tavern on Green Dragon Lane, a meeting place for the Freemasons and for Samuel Adams's Sons of Liberty where the Boston Tea Party was planned and from which Paul Revere departed on his midnight ride, according to Wikipedia (revised 2026-08-30); that building was demolished in 1832, and a commemorative plaque was placed at the site in 1892. The current Green Dragon Tavern operates at 11 Marshall Street as one of several pubs - alongside Mr. Dooley's, Hennessy's, and Durty Nelly's - listed on its own site. Since the episode, that site listed Saturday hours of 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and 2026-dated page content when checked on September 9, 2026; Google's business-profile data listed the tavern as operational the same day.
