What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise's 2013 'Cheese Paradise' episode (Season 4, Episode 19) featured The Parthenon, a Greek restaurant on South Halsted Street in Chicago's Greektown, spotlighting a flaming saganaki cheese appetizer served tableside and flambeed with a splash of liquor before being brought out. The restaurant sat among Greektown's cluster of long-running Greek dining spots along Halsted Street, a stretch built around Greek-American cuisine near Chicago's West Loop. According to Google's business listing for the 314 South Halsted Street address, checked in September 2026, the restaurant is marked permanently closed. No fresher dated source located in this check shows the restaurant reopened, relocated, or changed ownership since that listing was recorded, and no news report or social account was found naming a specific closure date or the reason behind it.
