What happened after Food Paradise?
The episode featured Gus's Barbecue's smoked meats and Southern-style barbecue plates at the chain's original South Pasadena dining room. Gus's BBQ operates as a barbecue restaurant at 808 Fair Oaks Ave in South Pasadena, California, and has grown from that original location into a small Southern California chain, with additional restaurants such as one in Porter Ranch. A direct check of the restaurant's own site (gussbbq.com) for this record returned an access-denied response, so no page content could be reviewed there. According to a Yelp listing updated 2026-09, the South Pasadena location shows ongoing review activity and photos dated through the current month, and the same search located an active OpenTable reservation page for the restaurant, along with a delivery listing for the location on a third-party ordering platform.
