What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode "Better With Bacon" featured Kaiser Tiger, a beer hall and bacon-focused bar in Chicago's West Loop known for house-made sausages and an extensive beer selection. Kaiser Tiger operates from 1415 W Randolph St, in the West Loop restaurant district. Checked on 2026-09-08, kaisertiger.com remained live with a working online ordering system and listed food, drink, and event-space offerings alongside a shuttle service for private events. According to a Google Maps listing checked the same day, Kaiser Tiger's status is listed as operational at the Randolph Street address.

Between the restaurant's own site and the current Maps listing, the available evidence indicates Kaiser Tiger continues to operate from its West Loop location. The site also listed a private-event shuttle service and photo galleries of the space, both dated to the same 2026-09-08 check, further indicating active day-to-day operations at the Randolph Street address.
