What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise: Manliest Restaurants 2 (2012), Mabel's Lobster Claw was featured for its classic Maine lobster rolls and whole steamed lobster dinners, served at a casual seafood shack near Kennebunkport's harbor. Mabel's is a longtime lobster restaurant in the Kennebunkport, Maine area, known locally for simple, traditional preparations of fresh-caught lobster. A site check on 2026-09-08 found mabelslobster.com live with 2026 copyright, current menu pages, and a working online ordering system, and Google Places lists the business as operational. The website's 'Reopening' banner still referenced an April date from an earlier season, a holdover from prior seasonal copy rather than evidence the restaurant is closed. Between the current website and the Google Places listing, both checked 2026-09-08, the restaurant's continued operation is corroborated by two independent sources.
