What happened after Food Paradise?

"Chowin' Down the Mississippi River" (S15E3) featured Lunchbox Eats' sandwich counter as one stop on its Memphis leg. The business operated as a casual lunch spot in downtown Memphis, at 288 South 4th Street, built around made-to-order sandwiches, sides, and desserts. According to Google Places, checked on 2026-09-08, Lunchbox Eats' business status was listed as permanently closed. The restaurant's own website remained online as of that date, but its pages showed only generic, undated content, with its "Catering" and "Contacts" navigation intact but no current hours, dated updates, or working online-ordering feature.

No secondary dated source describing when or why the business closed was found. Because the only affirmative signal came from the Google Places status field rather than a news account or an owner statement, the closure date and circumstances remain unspecified here.
