What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured The Flying Harpoon's Gulf Coast seafood and po'boy sandwiches, served at the restaurant's waterfront kitchen-and-bar setup on Windmill Ridge Road in Gulf Shores, Alabama, billed on its website as 'A Po' Boy Pub on the Bay.' The business also ran a related location, Flying Harpoon 2, on the beach highway toward Orange Beach. According to Gulf Coast Journeys, Flying Harpoon 2 announced in fall 2025 that its final day of service would be October 12, calling it 'the end of an era' and pointing customers to a new location opening in Port St. Joe, Florida.

Google's business listing marks the original Gulf Shores address as permanently closed, and Yelp's listing for that address, updated September 2026, also shows it closed. The Flying Harpoon's own website, checked 2026-09-09, now advertises 'The Flying Harpoon Port St. Joe Now OPEN!' at 304 Williams Ave in downtown Port St. Joe.
