What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise (Travel Channel) featured Labriola Ristorante in the 'Sandwich Heroes' episode, spotlighting a sandwich made from the restaurant's own bakery bread alongside its broader Italian menu. Labriola Ristorante is an Italian restaurant and bakery-cafe on North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, serving lunch, dinner, and dessert menus alongside a bar program. The restaurant's own website, checked on 2026-09-08, listed an active online ordering system alongside menus for cocktails, happy hour, lunch, dinner, and dessert, along with gift card and loyalty program pages. The site's structure, including hours-and-location and reservations pages, indicated ongoing operations at the North Michigan Avenue address referenced in the episode. No third-party listing was consulted beyond the website itself for this record, though an initial Google Places data also lists the restaurant as operational as of the same date.
