Part 2 — Season 5, Episode 6

Food Paradise's 'Deep Fried Paradise 4' episode featured Unicorn, a carnival-themed bar on East Pike Street in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood known for corndogs and other fried bar food. The business's website organizes its offerings under sections including Menus, Photos, and Events, and lists a 'Unicorn Pride' program tied to the neighborhood's LGBTQ+ community. According to the bar's website, checked 2026-09-09, it included an active online ordering cart and posted a customer-facing notice stating that street parking remained available out front during an ongoing construction project outside the building. Google Places, checked the same day, listed the business as operational. The site listed a food menu alongside cocktail offerings, consistent with the venue's identity as a bar rather than a full-service restaurant.
