What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise's 'BBQ Paradise 3' (S5E2), Wabash BBQ was featured for its smoked barbecue plates and daily discount specials, along with the attached Blues Garden, an outdoor space built around live music performances. The restaurant operates in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, combining a barbecue menu built around slow-smoked meats with weekday food specials and an entertainment component centered on the Blues Garden. A 2026-09-08 site check found the business's website, wabashbbq.com, displaying a 2026 copyright notice and current posted hours (Thursday and Friday-Saturday 11am-8pm, with Blues Garden hours 7-11pm), showing the site is actively maintained rather than an outdated holdover page. Google Places likewise lists the business as operational at 646 Kansas City Ave S, Excelsior Springs, MO, matching the website's location and confirming the same address.
