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. Current status is unclear: Grubhub and Seamless list an active Jive Turkey location on Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn with posted hours, while a separate restaurant directory, whereyoueat.com, marks its listing for the same business as closed. The evidence packet's 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 could be found for the Brooklyn location, so its operating status cannot be verified from available sources.
