What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode Swine and Dine (S16E8) featured Otto Pizza, a specialty pizza restaurant with a Portland, Maine location on Congress Street in the city's downtown. The business operates several Portland addresses under the same Otto name, offering dine-in, takeout, and delivery pizza by the slice and whole pie. According to the restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08, the 576 Congress Street location posted a notice reading in part 'we have closed for the season,' directing customers to its 225 Congress Street location for takeout and dine-in or to its Read Street location for delivery. The same website carries a 2026 copyright notice and otherwise-current posted hours for its still-operating locations. The evidence indicates this particular Congress Street address is not currently serving customers, while the Otto Pizza brand continues to operate nearby under the same ownership.
