What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise's 'Hot & Spicy Paradise 2' (S5E4), Nitally's was featured for its ThaiMex cooking, a fusion of Thai and Mexican flavors and techniques, served in what the restaurant's own website describes as a cozy, nostalgic mom-and-pop setting with a loyal local following. The restaurant operates in St. Petersburg, Florida, with a street address matching its longtime location on what is now Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street N, formerly known by an older street name. A 2026-09-08 check of the website, nitallys.com, found an active online ordering option and posted current hours, for example Thursday 11am-1:30pm and 5-8pm, along with a listed phone number. Google's listing shows the same address and lists the business as operating, matching the website's location and contact information.
