What happened after Food Paradise?

"Pot Pie Paradise" (aired 2012) featured Pleasant House Bakery's handmade Royal Pies, a British-style savory pie that co-owner and chef Art Jackson has described as "kind of like a pot pie, except its crust is the pot." Husband-and-wife owners Art and Chelsea Jackson opened the original Pleasant House Bakery in 2011, according to the business's own website. In 2016, the same owners expanded into a new location, Pleasant House Pub, at 2119 South Halsted Street in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, according to the business's website. A Yelp listing updated 2026-09 shows the Pilsen address still operating, with more than 1,000 reviews and continued British-inspired pub service. Google Places lists the address as operational. Eater has named the Royal Pies one of Chicago's iconic foods, according to the business's website, and Chicago public television program Check Please has separately profiled the original Pleasant House Bakery.
