What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise's 'Deep Fried Paradise' (S1E15) featured Jive Turkey, spotlighting the Brooklyn restaurant's whole fried turkey, pressure-fried in peanut oil. Jive Turkey is a soul-food restaurant founded in 2001 by Aricka Westbrooks, who began frying turkeys in her Brooklyn backyard before opening a retail storefront in Clinton Hill in 2003, according to Our Time Press. Yelp's listing for Jive Turkey at 570 Myrtle Ave. in Clinton Hill was marked closed in a July 2026 update, and a separate restaurant directory, whereyoueat.com, also lists the business as permanently closed, though Grubhub and Seamless still show a Myrtle Avenue listing with posted hours. our records' located match, a same-named restaurant in Toledo, Ohio, is a different, unrelated business and was not used. No 2026-dated confirmation of current hours, menu, or ordering was found for the Brooklyn location.
