What happened after Food Paradise?

"Chowin' Down the Mississippi River" (S15E3) stopped in Vicksburg for Rusty's Riverfront Grill's Cajun-inflected seafood and steaks. According to Visit Mississippi's directory listing, the restaurant has operated since 2001, serving a casual, saloon-style dining room and an outdoor patio at 901 Washington Street overlooking the river. Yelp's page for the restaurant, updated September 2026, listed current hours of Tuesday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5 to 8:30 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5 to 9:30 p.m., and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., along with active customer reviews.

Google Places listed the business as operational as of the same period. The restaurant's own website returned an access-denied error during a direct check on 2026-09-08, so its content could not be independently confirmed, though the Yelp and Google Places data point to continued activity.
