What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's "Deli Paradise" episode (S4E17, 2013) featured Molinari Delicatessen, spotlighting the North Beach shop's house-cured, dry Italian salami and classic sandwich counter. According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-07-11), the deli was established in 1896 in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, making it one of the oldest delis in the United States, and its salami is produced and sold nationally under the P.G. Molinari and Sons label. The business's own website, themolinarideli.com, was live when checked on 2026-09-08, displaying 2026 copyright dating, posted hours for Thursday through Sunday, and an active online store for shipping salami and other products. The site listed no change in the restaurant's name, address, or ownership since its 2013 television appearance.
