What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's Big Beef Paradise episode featured Mallie's Sports Grill & Bar, spotlighting the Southgate, Michigan sports bar's oversized burger program, including the giant hamburger that once set a world record for the biggest commercially available burger. Owner Steve Mallie built a reputation for supersized menu items at the bar, according to Banana 101.5's coverage of the business. Banana 101.5 reported that Mallie's closed on 2024-11-27, the day before Thanksgiving, citing declining business and Steve Mallie's wish to focus on family life. Google Places marks the Northline Road address permanently closed, and the domain now associated with the business, mallies-southgate.com, describes itself on its own homepage as a user-created informational site rather than the restaurant's official page. This appearance is treated as the same business already tracked in this database at its Southgate location.

Man v. Food visited Mallie's Sports Grill & Bar in Southgate, Michigan, in an episode that aired on 2009-11-04, featuring the sports bar's world-record hamburger, according to Wikipedia.

The restaurant's former web domain, mallies-southgate.com, now hosts a user-generated informational page rather than an active business site, per its own site disclaimer.
