What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The episode 'Desert Island Dish' featured Paradise Donuts, a Maryland donut shop chain with several Baltimore-area locations, including shops in Linthicum Heights and Bel Air. The original listing listed the business simply as 'Baltimore, MD'; the Linthicum Heights location, at 501 South Camp Meade Road, sits closest to Baltimore proper and is used here. According to a MenuPix restaurant listing checked in September 2026, the Linthicum Heights location of Paradise Donuts was marked permanently closed. A separate Yelp listing for the chain's Bel Air, Maryland location, updated in July 2026, likewise showed that store marked closed, indicating at least two Paradise Donuts locations in the Baltimore region had closed by mid-2026.
