What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Local Legends' episode highlighted Pleasant Ridge Chili's Cincinnati-style chili, cheese coneys, and chili cheese fries at its Montgomery Road diner. The restaurant has served Cincinnati chili and classic American diner fare, including double-decker sandwiches and pies, since 1964, and three generations of the Sideris family have run the business at 6032 Montgomery Rd. It remains a cash-only operation. According to a Yelp listing updated August 2026, the restaurant continues to draw reviews praising its chili and cheese fries, indicating it was still operating as of that update. The business's own website separately still displays a 2023 copyright notice, so that site alone was not used to establish current status. No additional independent 2026 source was located beyond the Yelp listing.
