What happened after Food Paradise?

The Boston stop showcased the Bristol Lounge's weekend dessert buffet, a spread of bite-sized sweets — chocolate-covered strawberries, mini cupcakes, and cake pops among them — served in the lounge off the hotel lobby. The lounge operated inside the Four Seasons Hotel Boston on Boylston Street in Back Bay, opening alongside the hotel in 1985. The space later operated as Bristol Restaurant & Bar; according to a Yelp listing updated in June 2026, Bristol Restaurant & Bar is closed at the same Boylston Street address. The Four Seasons Hotel Boston building itself remains open, part of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, a Toronto-based company that according to Wikipedia (revised 2026-08-31) operated more than 130 hotels and resorts worldwide as of 2026.
