What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode Eat Like a Local: California (S16E7) featured The Grass Skirt, a tiki bar and speakeasy in San Diego's Pacific Beach neighborhood. The bar serves Pacific-inspired small plates it calls pupu's alongside a rotating list of exotic cocktails, and it also hosts private events and sells gift cards. According to the business's own website, checked 2026-09-08, The Grass Skirt carries a 2026 copyright notice, a working online reservation and ordering system, and posted hours running Tuesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. until late. The site's careers section also notes the company is hiring across its venues.

Google Places lists the business as operational at 910 Grand Avenue in San Diego, matching the contact details on the website. No additional independent source was checked for this record beyond the business's own site, so the operating status is treated as reported.
