What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Passport on a Plate' episode featured The Original Pierre Maspero's, a Creole restaurant in a historic building at 440 Chartres Street in New Orleans' French Quarter, known for Creole cuisine, specialty cocktails, and a bottomless weekend brunch, according to the restaurant's own website. The restaurant frames itself as 'A Local Favorite' rooted in the French Quarter's history, according to its homepage, which also promotes the building's past alongside the food and drink menu. A 2026-09-08 check of originalpierremasperos.com found the site live with a 2026 copyright notice, an active online ordering system, and posted hours -- Thursday 9 AM-10 PM, Friday and Saturday 9 AM-11 PM, and Sunday 9 AM-10 PM -- for the Chartres Street address. Google Places separately listed the business as operational at the same address on the same date.
