What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Neighborhood Hangouts' episode featured no. 246, a restaurant on Decatur's historic downtown square that serves dinner Thursday through Sunday alongside a weekend brunch menu. The restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08, listed dinner hours of 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, extending to 11 p.m. Friday and running 2:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, with a Sunday block running from 2:30 p.m. into brunch service. The same site listed a Decatur address of 129 East Ponce de Leon Avenue and offered e-gift cards for purchase.
