What happened after Food Paradise? 2 episodes

Food Paradise, Season 17, Episode 2

The episode featured L.P. Steamers' steamed blue crabs and Baltimore-style seafood at its Locust Point crab house on East Fort Avenue. The restaurant, a family-run crab house that has served South Baltimore since 1996, operates today at the same 1100 E. Fort Ave. address under the name Locust Point Steamers, according to the business's website and a Yelp listing updated in September 2026. The Baltimore Sun's 2011 review described L.P. Steamers as a Locust Point seafood institution known for its steamed crabs, a reputation the business has carried under its current name at the same location.

Man v. Food, Season 7, Episode 7 Aired

In the Casey Webb-hosted Baltimore, Maryland episode that aired 2018-06-25, Man v. Food visited L.P. Steamers, a family-owned crab house at 1100 East Fort Avenue in the Locust Point neighborhood known for steamed hard crabs, crab cakes, and fried seafood platters served with a rooftop deck overlooking Baltimore's harbor. The restaurant's own site notes it has also appeared on Food Paradise and The Zimmern List, and it runs a standing Tuesday fried-hard-crab special. L.P. Steamers' own website continues to list current daily hours and weekly specials, and Yelp's business page for the restaurant was updated September 2026 with several thousand active reviews describing recent visits. Together, the two sources indicate L.P. Steamers remains open in its original Locust Point location as of September 2026.
