What happened after Food Paradise?
Big Beef Paradise showcased Ward's House of Prime, built around slow-roasted, dry-aged prime rib served in a traditional steakhouse dining room. The restaurant occupies a storefront on East Mason Street in Milwaukee's East Town neighborhood downtown. According to the business's own website, checked 2026-09-08, Ward's House of Prime still lists a dinner menu built around prime rib, along with a whiskey club, private events, and take-home dinners, and the site carries a 2025 copyright notice. The site also posts current dining-room hours for Thursday through Saturday service.
Google Places' listing, reviewed the same day, records the restaurant as operational. Between the two sources, the restaurant's steakhouse format and prime rib specialty appear unchanged since the episode aired, with no evidence of a closure, sale, or name change.
