What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode Classic Combos featured Heaven on Seven, a Cajun and Creole restaurant that operated on the seventh floor of the Garland Building in Chicago's Loop for 43 years, according to the restaurant's own Instagram account. The Google Places record used to locate this entry matched a different, unrelated business, Seventh Heaven, at 1026 N Ashland Ave; the restaurant's actual address was 111 N Wabash Ave, according to ABC7 Chicago and Yelp. ABC7 Chicago reported in March 2020 that Heaven on Seven had closed permanently, with the owner selling the recipes after customers stopped returning to the Loop.

Yelp's listing for the Wabash Avenue address, updated August 2026, still lists the restaurant as closed. No source found in this check describes a reopening at either address. Coordinates for the correct address are left pending rather than carried over from the mismatched Places record.
