What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode "Boardwalk Bites" showcased Tower 12 as a boardwalk-adjacent stop known for its food, drinks, and happy hour rather than one specific dish. Tower 12 sits directly on the Hermosa Beach Pier in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County and operates as a restaurant and bar with a dedicated events and sports section. According to the restaurant's own website, checked on 2026-09-08, the site listed a brunch menu, a drinks and happy hour section, gift cards, and a working online-ordering and reservations system. Google Places lists the location's business status as operational, reviewed the same day. The listed address places the restaurant at 53 Pier Ave, Hermosa Beach, matching the pier location referenced in the episode title.
