What happened after Food Paradise?

Woodie's Flat appeared in Food Paradise's "Apps Download" episode (S14E6). It is a sports bar on North Wells Street in Chicago, marketed as a gathering spot for Ohio State Buckeyes and Cincinnati Bengals fans watching from out of town. The bar promotes catering wings and a Monday-through-Friday happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. alongside its regular menu. According to the bar's own website, woodieschicago.com, which carries a 2026 copyright notice, current posted hours run Thursday 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., Friday 3 p.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 a.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., with the kitchen open until 11 p.m., indicating the bar remains active on Chicago's Near North Side. The site lists a separate catering menu built specifically around its wings, distinct from the regular in-house food menu.
