What happened after Food Paradise?

On an episode themed 'Lots of Cluck,' J. Timothy's Taverne was featured for its chicken wings, the dish named directly in the restaurant's own website title. J. Timothy's Taverne is a family restaurant at 143 New Britain Ave in Plainville, Connecticut. J. Timothy's Taverne's own website (jtimothys.com), checked 2026-09-09, included 2026-dated page content and posted current hours: closed Mondays, open at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with phone orders available starting at 9:30 a.m. The site noted that reservations are limited to groups of six to twelve, with all other seating handled first come, first served.

Google Places separately lists the New Britain Avenue location's business status as operational as of the same date.
