What happened after Food Paradise?

The Guilford stop featured The Place Restaurant, an open-air seafood spot where cooks grill corn, clams, and other catch directly over a communal wood fire while guests eat at picnic tables and tree-stump seats. The Place is a seasonal outdoor restaurant on the Boston Post Road in Guilford, a shoreline Connecticut town between New Haven and the Connecticut River. According to the restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08, current seasonal hours are posted — Thursday and Friday evenings, Saturday afternoon and evening, and Sunday and holiday midday service — and the site offers online ordering, indicating the wood-fire seafood house is still operating at the same Boston Post Road address. The site also repeats the restaurant's longstanding no-credit-cards policy for diners planning a visit.
