What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured a Hong Kong-style Chinese bistro in the Denver area, one of several restaurants named Joe's visited by the show. The business, Uncle Joe's Hong Kong Bistro, was located at 2892 South Havana Street — in Aurora, Colorado, not Denver proper as the episode described it. According to Google Maps, checked 2026-09-08, the Havana Street listing carries a permanently-closed business status, and no active website or ordering page could be found for the restaurant under its full or shortened name. No news coverage or social media confirming a specific closure date turned up in this search; the Google listing is the only dated record located for this address. With no current website, menu or listing showing activity at the address, the bistro does not appear to still be operating there under this name.
