What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's "All You Can Meat" episode featured Pork & Beans, a restaurant built around pork-based dishes in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the city's Cultural District. The restaurant operated at 136 6th Street. According to a Google Places listing checked on 2026-09-08, the business is marked permanently closed at that address. The restaurant's own website, porkandbeanspgh.com, still returned an HTTP 200 response on 2026-09-08, but its server last-modified date was 2019-02-14, and the hours, phone number, and lack of any online ordering system it displayed matched that earlier period rather than showing current 2026 activity.

The site listed lunch service Tuesday through Saturday and dinner service every day of the week, hours consistent with a full-service restaurant rather than an active online storefront. No 2026-dated content was found on the site, consistent with the closure shown in the Places record.
