What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise, Season 10, Episode 12
The episode "Like Mama Made" featured Vinsetta Garage, a restaurant built inside a former auto garage on Woodward Ave in Berkley, Michigan, just outside Detroit, known for comfort-food plates styled after home cooking. According to the restaurant's website, vinsettagarage.com, the business identifies itself simply as Vinsetta Garage rather than the fuller on-air name Vinsetta Garage Custom Detroit Eats. Checked on 2026-09-08, vinsettagarage.com displayed 2026-dated content and a working online ordering system, and the site's title lists the restaurant's location as Berkley, Michigan. According to a Google Maps listing checked the same day, Vinsetta Garage's status is listed as operational at 27799 Woodward Ave. Although the on-air segment identified the restaurant's market as Detroit, the located address places Vinsetta Garage in Berkley, a Detroit-area suburb along the Woodward corridor, rather than within Detroit's city limits.
You Gotta Eat Here!, Season 4, Episode 7 Aired
Vinsetta Garage in Berkley, Michigan, appeared in season 4, episode 7 of You Gotta Eat Here!, which aired on 2015-03-13 as "Naina's Kitchen, Vinsetta Garage, Hali Deli." TVmaze's episode summary (read 2026-10-19) says host John Catucci visited it, and it names no dish. The restaurant occupies a former auto garage at 27799 Woodward Avenue. Its website (vinsettagarage.com), read 2026-10-19, describes it as the oldest garage east of the Mississippi, now a restaurant serving burgers, Union Mac & Cheese, tacos, and coal-fired pies. The page credits the Kurta and Marwil families with laying its foundation, says they have since moved out, and says a new crew now runs it. It lists hours from Monday 4 pm to 9 pm through Saturday 12 pm to 10 pm, with Sunday 12 pm to 9 pm. The page footer shows a 2023 copyright and no 2026 date.
