What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise, Season 12, Episode 6
The 'Fully Loaded' episode featured The Stillery, a bar and live-music venue on Nashville's 2nd Avenue North, in the city's downtown honky-tonk district. A 2026-09-09 check of the business's own website, thestillery.com, found the page live and displaying 2026-dated content, and the site's server last-modified header was also dated 2026-09-09, indicating the site is actively maintained. Google Places lists the business as operational at 113 2nd Ave N. No additional independent, dated source such as a news article or review was located during this check beyond the business's own current web presence. No information was found suggesting a change of ownership, name, or location since the episode aired.
Mystery Diners, Season 11, Episode 12 Aired
Mystery Diners featured The Stillery and Nashville Street Tacos, two downtown Nashville, Tennessee, restaurants with the same owner, in the episode "Rigged Rental," part of season 11, which aired April 6, 2016. As with the rest of the series, the format called for a suspected problem at the venue to be caught on hidden camera by an undercover mystery diner before the owner was brought in and shown what the investigation found. According to Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing its sources, the program has been described as staged and scripted rather than an unscripted account of real events.
Wikipedia's episode summary says the owner suspected that people were using his part-time apartment above Nashville Street Tacos, a mystery diner went undercover as a waitress at The Stillery, and The Stillery's manager and a Nashville Street Tacos prep cook were fired. Nashville Street Tacos, at 129 2nd Avenue North, closed in 2016 after the building was sold, according to a February 2024 WhatNow report. The Stillery is still open at 113 2nd Avenue North, which its own website lists as its downtown location as of October 2026, alongside a second location in Midtown Nashville.
