What happened after Food Paradise?

Casey Webb visited The High Dive, a sports bar and grill on Morena Boulevard in San Diego's Bay Park neighborhood, for the show's grilled fish taco special: whitefish topped with shredded cabbage and chipotle aioli, served with a choice of mango salsa or salsa fresca, per the restaurant's own menu description. The High Dive pairs a full bar carrying roughly 20 beers on tap with a food menu built around burgers, wings, and beach-style plates.
