What happened after Food Paradise?
On Food Paradise's 'Hamburger Paradise 3' (S5E3), Sketch Burger was featured for its gourmet burger menu, the kind of build that earned the Fishtown shop a spot on national best-burger lists during its run. According to PhillyVoice, the restaurant was included among the best burger spots in the United States, drawing attention to its Girard Avenue location in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood. The Google Places record initially matched to this batch line pointed to a different, currently operating burger business at a nearby Fishtown address on Frankford Avenue; Sketch Burger's own address, 413 E Girard Ave, was located separately through a web search. A Yelp listing for Sketch Burger, updated July 2026, marks the location as permanently closed at the same Girard Avenue address, with no indication of a different operator taking over that specific storefront.
