What happened after Food Paradise?

An S17E10 episode titled "The Comfort Zone" featured Jelly U Cafe, a brunch spot near the University of Denver known for classic breakfast and brunch fare. The cafe operated from 1700 E. Evans Ave in Denver's University neighborhood. According to Hoodline, dated 2026-05, the longtime DU brunch spot rebranded from Jelly U Cafe, also known as Jelly Cafe, into Holi Jelli, an Indo-American concept blending the original brunch menu with new small plates and later hours. Westword covered the same change, describing the space as now operating as Holi Jelli Masala Cafe and Bar. The website holijelli.com, checked 2026-09-08, showed the same Evans Avenue address operating under the Holi Jelli name with a 2026 copyright and an online-ordering option. No closure of the underlying business was reported; both outlets described a menu and branding change at the same location rather than a shutdown.
